The perimenopause can occur at any age but typically people notice the first symptoms between the ages of 40 and 45. The first sign of the perimenopause is usually, but not always, a change in the pattern of your period. You can find out more about signs of the perimenopause on our symptoms page or by calling the clinic.

The perimenopause can start at any age, but usually it starts between 40 and 45.

The perimenopause is a transitional process. If you are experiencing symptoms which are affecting your daily life, it is worth speaking to a healthcare professional to discuss the most appropriate treatment.
