Understanding Menopause Symptoms

 

Key Information

  • Menopause is when your periods stop permanently due to lower oestrogen levels and typically happens between the ages of 45 and 55.
  • Perimenopause is the period leading up to menopause when you have symptoms, but your periods have not stopped completely. This can last for several years.
  • The first sign of perimenopause is often a change in your periods. They may become irregular, heavier, or lighter.
  • Common symptoms include hot flushes, mood swings, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and memory problems known as 'brain fog'. These can begin years before your periods stop.
