Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the natural transition phase before menopause, marked by hormonal fluctuations that can affect physical health, emotional well-being, and quality of life. At HealthBay, our experienced gynaecologists provide personalised, evidence-based care to help women navigate perimenopause with confidence and comfort.
We focus on early identification, symptom management, and long-term health support during this important stage of a woman’s life.
What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause refers to the years leading up to menopause, during which estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate. This phase can start as early as the late 30s or early 40s and may last several years before menstruation completely stops.
Hormonal changes during perimenopause can cause noticeable physical and emotional symptoms that vary from woman to woman.
Common Symptoms of Perimenopause
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability
- Sleep disturbances
- Fatigue and low energy
- Weight gain and slowed metabolism
- Reduced libido
- Vaginal dryness
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
When to Consult a Gynaecologist
You should consider seeking medical advice if:
- Periods become highly irregular or heavy
- Symptoms affect daily life or work performance
- You experience severe mood changes
- Sleep problems persist
- You are unsure whether symptoms are due to perimenopause or another condition
Early assessment helps rule out other hormonal or medical conditions and ensures appropriate treatment.
