MENOPAUSE

Menopausal Transition Symptoms

Find out what’s behind many of the commonest symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, and how to manage them.

Symptoms

It can be tricky to work out if symptoms are related to hormonal changes or something else: other medical issues, medications, mood triggers, lifestyle, social and environmental factors can all play a role.

There is also a lot of crossover with symptoms at different stages of the menopausal transition, but some are more likely at certain stages. For example, vaginal dryness tends to get worse the further past menopause you are, and hormonal mood symptoms tend to be worst in perimenopause.
