Top 5 Common Symptoms of Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the transitional window before menopause, and it often brings a mix of physical and emotional changes. Here are the top five symptoms women

frequently experience:

Periods may become lighter or heavier, shorter or longer, or skip entirely

2. Hot Flashes & Night Sweats

Sudden warmth, sweating, and temperature fluctuations are among the hallmark perimenopausal experiences
