What are the perimenopause symptoms?
October 28, 2022
By Jennifer Vander Zalm
There are dozens of changes and symptoms associated with menopause found in five major categories:
- Vasomotor [Temperature]
- Urogenital [Vagina and Urinary Tract]
- Psychological [Mental Health]
- Somo-Vegetative [Body]
- Somo-Vegatative [Head]
Some of these are temporary whereas others can be permanent. Individual women often experience a range of symptoms from each category, varying from hot flashes and night sweats to anxiety and mood swings. Clinicians pair information about a woman’s symptoms with the date of the last menstrual period to determine whether a woman is likely to be in perimenopause, also known as the menopause transition.
