Premenopause vs. Menopause: How they differ in signs, timing and hormonal changes
Premenopause and menopause are distinct reproductive phases. Premenopause features regular cycles and stable hormones, while menopause marks 12 months without a period, signifying fertility's end and a sharp oestrogen drop. This decline triggers symptoms like hot flushes and mood shifts. Recognizing these differences aids early symptom identification and confident management of physical and emotional changes.
