Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms
Menopause is a natural life stage that marks the end of menstrual cycles. It happens when the ovaries slow down production of hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone, and a person has had no period for 12 months. Menopause isn’t an illness — it’s a normal, biological transition that every woman will experience in her own way.
Perimenopause: The Transition Phase
Perimenopause is the phase leading up to menopause, when hormone levels start to fluctuate. This can begin in the 40s (sometimes earlier) and often lasts several years. During this time, periods may change — becoming irregular, heavier, lighter, or more spaced out. Because ovulation can still occur, pregnancy is still possible in perimenopause.
Menopause: The Final Period
Menopause is confirmed once 12 consecutive months have passed without a period. In Australia, this typically occurs between 45 and 55, with the average age around 51. Some women may experience menopause earlier due to medical treatments, genetics, or surgical removal of the ovaries.
Postmenopause: Life After Periods
Postmenopause is the time after menopause has occurred. Hormone levels remain low, and while periods do not return, overall health needs may change. This stage is an opportunity to focus on long-term wellbeing — including bone, heart, metabolic, and mental health.
A Normal Part of Ageing
Menopause is a universal transition, but every woman’s experience is unique. Some notice only subtle changes, while others may find the shift more disruptive.
