Perimenopause refers to the time leading up to menopause, when a woman's body makes the natural transition toward permanent infertility. The hallmark of perimenopause is hormone fluctuations, which cause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep troubles, and mood changes for some women.
During the perimenopausal transition, which can last up to 10 years for some women, the ovaries gradually produce less of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. This leads up to menopause - the point when ovulation and menstruation stop completely.
