With many more women today completing their families in their later 30’s and early 40’s, the fluctuation in hormone function around this time can make it a challenging time both physically and mentally.
Symptoms of perimenopause can extend over a number of years until finally the day arrives when it has been a year since your last period and officially you become post menopausal.
