Questions About Perimenopause

How long does perimenopause last?

It varies. Women normally go through menopause between ages 45 and 55. Many women experience menopause around age 51. However, perimenopause can start as early as age 35. It can last just a few months or a few years. There is no way to tell in advance how long it will last OR how long it will take you to go through it.

I've been depressed in the past. Will this affect when I start going through perimenopause?

It could. Researchers are studying how depression in a woman's life affects the time she starts perimenopause. If you start perimenopause early, researchers don't know if you reach menopause faster than other women or if you're just in perimenopause longer.

I don't understand why I get hot flashes. Could you tell me what's going on with my body?

We don't know exactly what causes hot flashes. It could be a drop in estrogen or change in another hormone. This affects the part of your brain that regulates your body temperature. During a hot flash, you feel a sudden rush of heat move from your chest to your head. Your skin may turn red, and you may sweat. Hot flashes are sometimes brought on by things like hot weather, eating hot or spicy foods, or drinking alcohol or caffeine. Try to avoid these things if you find they trigger the hot flashes.
