Do irregular periods indicate Perimenopause?

Irregular periods can be a sign of perimenopause, the transitional period before menopause.¹ Perimenopause is the time period before menopause (natural end of a woman's menstrual cycle). Menopause typically begins in the 40s or 50s.^1,2

Symptoms of perimenopause, including irregular periods, can last for several years. Irregular periods can include infrequent periods, longer or shorter cycles, or heavier or lighter bleeding than normal.

Other common symptoms of perimenopause may include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.^1,3 If you are in your 40s & experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is important to talk to your doctor to determine if you are in perimenopause or having any other hormone-related condition.

Your doctor can do a physical exam and ask for blood tests to help diagnose perimenopause.
