“The discussion about menopause is slowly becoming less taboo, although there is still a lot of uncertainty about its symptoms and signs.”
“What exactly are the indications that someone is entering menopause? There is no fixed age at which this occurs, making it often difficult to determine when it is happening.”
“Menopause — the moment when menstruation stops — and perimenopause — the period leading up to it — are often confused.”
“Perimenopause typically begins between 40 and 45 years, when estrogen production gradually decreases.”
“This phase can vary from 2 to 10 years. Women often notice around 45 that they are in perimenopause, even if the symptoms are still subtle.”
“Regular visits to the doctor are recommended if you are unsure about the symptoms. Ask your doctor for a questionnaire, also known as the ‘green scale’, to get a better idea of what you are experiencing.”
