Che differenza c'è tra premenopausa e menopausa?
Premenopausa: inizia con la comparsa di irregolarità del ciclo e/o disturbi climaterici; queste manifestazioni esprimono il declino della funzione ovarica; Menopausa: coincide con l'ultima mestruazione dopo 6-12 mesi di amenorrea; Post-menopausa: inizia dopo un anno dalle ultime mestruazioni spontanee.
What is perimenopause and how long does it last?
- Perimenopause, or menopause transition, begins several years before menopause. It's the time when the ovaries gradually begin to make less estrogen. It usually starts in women's 40s, but can start in their 30s or even earlier. Perimenopause lasts up until menopause, the point when the ovaries stop releasing eggs.
Is there a cure for perimenopause?
- There isn’t any treatment to stop perimenopause. Perimenopause is a natural part of life. The “cure” for perimenopause occurs when your periods stop and you enter menopause. But your healthcare provider may recommend over-the-counter or prescription perimenopause treatment to help ease symptoms.
How do I know if I am in perimenopause?
- If these symptoms are occurring alongside a change in periods, it is likely you are in perimenopause. It's also possible to still have regular periods and be in perimenopause, but there may be subtle changes such as a slightly shorter cycle – maybe 24 days instead of 29 – or heavier or lighter bleeding.
Can you get pregnant during the final stages of perimenopause?
- This can cause irregular periods and other symptoms. During the final stages of perimenopause, your body will produce less and less estrogen. Despite the sharp drop in estrogen, it’s still possible to get pregnant. Perimenopause can last for as little as a few months and as long as 4 years.
