The stages of a woman's life are marked by profound biological and hormonal changes, shaping not only her physical well-being but also her emotional and psychological state. Among these significant phases, perimenopause and menopause stand as crucial milestones, often surrounded by confusion, myths, and misconceptions.
Physically, you may notice changes in the irregularity of menstrual cycles, with periods becoming lighter or heavier, shorter or longer, and more or less frequent.
