There are no tests to determine whether a woman is in premenopause.
Menopause Transition
Menopause transition often called premenopause is that time in a woman’s life when she experiences fluctuations in her hormone levels. As we age our body produces lower levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone hormones. This throws the body off balance and can lead to decades of menopausal symptoms. There are no tests to determine whether a woman is in premenopause. Tests taken during this time are unreliable since hormonal levels can change very quickly.
Menopause Symptoms
When fluctuations in hormone levels occur, women can experience low libido, thinning or loss of hair, sleep disruption, mood swings, hot flashes, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, and skin changes. It is claimed that there are almost a hundred premenopause and menopause symptoms. Keeping in mind that every woman is different, some women may experience a few or no menopausal symptoms while others may experience multiple symptoms. However, more than 60% of menopausal women experience some symptoms and keep those symptoms hidden.
Some symptoms may come and go over an extended period of time. An irregular menstrual cycle is one of the first signs that a woman over the age of 40 may be experiencing premenopause changes. She may experience heavier or lighter bleeding or bleeding may occur more or less often. Fatigue, memory problems, vaginal dryness, itching, and pain during intercourse are common. Some women may find it difficult to control weight and may experience rapid changes in mood, bloating, and urinary tract infections.
