Perimenopause: What is it and what can you do?
The average age of menopause is 51, and menopause itself only lasts for one day, because it simply marks the one-year anniversary of your last period.
Perimenopause, on the other hand, refers to the period of time in which you’ll have cycles, but start to experience ‘menopausal’ symptoms.
