"Am I losing my mind?" "WHAT is going on?"
Perimenopause signs & symptoms - early menopause symptoms
experienced in pre menopause women - can be very confusing and
unnerving.
These early perimenopause symptoms (pre menopause
symptoms) are a completely new experience and often begin
years before menopause. These perimenopause symptoms can sneak
up mildly and infrequently, when pre menopause women least
expect them.

Pre-menopause women at the beginning of the perimenopause phase feel uncomfortable and out of sorts,
without yet correlating their symptoms to perimenopause.
A cat food commercial reduces the perimenopause
woman to tears. A friend or husband’s sideways glance or
offhand comment spurs a heated argument. PMS-type
mood swings and bloating seem to take up the majority
instead of the minority of the month. In the 20/20
vision of hindsight, women solidly beyond pre menopause easily
identify these perimenopause symptoms as the beginning of the
menopause process. For the pre menopause novice new to
perimenopause symptoms, not knowing the cause is
disconcerting.
Perimenopause, often referred to as pre-menopause,
is the time before menopause actually takes place. Perimenopause and its early menopause symptoms typically begin
between 35 and 45.
Because the early menopause symptoms occur
gradually over an extended period of time, many women in the
early stages of perimenopause often discount the perimenopause
symptoms or blame the pre-menopause symptoms on other health
conditions or external issues.
Many pre-menopausal women report taking numerous
trips to the doctor’s office before both they and their health
care provider link the symptoms to perimenopause.
Women might feel relieved to find a name to hang
their aches and ails. They are not going crazy. They are not a
hypochondriac or dying of some unidentifiable disease but the
thought of perimenopause is not exactly comforting.
Another issue with pre-menopause is that perimenopause is not as widely discussed as menopause, even
though many women experience more symptoms
during perimenopause than after menopause.
Many clinicians and everyday people alike believe
that perimenopause and its early menopause symptoms are often
worse than the actual, shorter-lived menopause phase.
A small percent of women go through this transition
period with few early menopause symptoms. Their periods stop,
they have a few bouts of hot flashes and that is that. Women
at the other end of the scale experience intense symptoms that
dramatically alter their lives.
The first perimenopause symptoms women typically
experience are changes in their monthly cycle. Menstrual
cycles in perimenopause might shorten or lengthen by a couple
days. Periods might be lighter or heavier. Women might skip
their periods for a month or more.
Hot flashes are another of the most common early
menopause symptoms and can begin before women notice changes
in their monthly cycle. Again, these hot flashes often start
out mild and women can discounted these, especially if there
are no signs of other perimenopause symptoms.
Common perimenopause symptoms (early, pre menopause
symptoms) include:
- Changes in menstrual cycles.
- Hot flashes.
- Mood swings and generally unstable or erratic
behavior.
- Irritability, anxiety, depression, frustration.
- Fatigue.
- Increasing vaginal dryness, itching, discomfort.
- Breast tenderness.
- Painful sexual intercourse.
- Decreased libido.
- Urinary tract changes.
Each month can bring on a new set of perimenopause
symptoms. One month women might feel like jumping out of their
skin. Another month they find themselves in bed crying half
the morning. Muscles and joints might ache for no apparent
reason. Some days the mental "fog" hangs.
These mild changes increase as women enter their 40s, with
women typically entering menopause in their mid-40s and early 50s.
These early menopause symptoms occur as the body’s
estrogen and progestin producing abilities wane to bring women
out of their childbearing years. The declining and fluctuating
hormone levels are the culprit of most of the perimenopause
symptoms, as well as menopause symptoms.
Perimenopause symptoms are early menopause symptoms
- a hint of things to come. For a detailed account of these
symptoms, see "Menopause Symptoms."
Menopause is a process. It begins quietly with a
few perimenopause symptoms but can become quite loud at its
menopause peak. Eventually, the body calms back down in post
menopause.
Think of the menopause process as an internal
argument brewing in the body. One side wants the status quo of
reproductive years and the other wants change. The minor
bickering between the sides escalates to full-scale fighting
before one side wins, the other concedes and peace returns. Of
course, the side that wants change always wins but that does
not stop status quo from putting up a good fight.
In some women, these two sides reach agreement
quickly with few casualties. Other women have more stubborn
conflicts.
Physicians place perimenopause as the period of
time three to four years before menopause but perimenopause
symptoms can actually begin much earlier - up to 15 years
earlier in rare occasions. Typically, the later perimenopause
symptoms begin, the shorter the transition to menopause.
The best way to resolve this internal hormone
conflict is to bring in a mediator - and the sooner the better.
Beginning natural hormone replacement therapy at the onset of
perimenopause symptoms brings a quicker and quieter
resolution.
It is important to note that thyroid irregularities
and diabetes are medical conditions commonly seen during the
pre menopause years and can mimic perimenopause symptoms. Pre-menopause women experiencing perimenopause symptoms should
have thyroid and diabetes testing to rule these conditions
out.
