Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, and it can begin years before your periods actually stop. Many women are surprised to learn that symptoms can start in their late 30s or early 40s, long before they expect any change in their cycle.
During this time, fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels can trigger a wide range of symptoms, including irregular periods, night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, and disrupted sleep. Because these symptoms can be subtle or mistaken for stress or ageing, perimenopause often goes unrecognised for years.
Paying attention to changes in your cycle, energy levels, and emotional wellbeing is an important first step. If you notice new or worsening symptoms, it’s worth speaking to a healthcare professional who understands hormonal health. Early recognition means you can access support and treatment options sooner, rather than simply living with symptoms that affect your daily life.
At Naqi Wellness, we take a personalised approach to perimenopause care, looking at your full health picture rather than treating symptoms in isolation. Every woman’s hormonal journey is different, and your care should reflect that.
