Perimenopause Patterns and Questions
Organize symptoms and cycle changes for a more useful evaluation.
What to know
Perimenopause experiences vary and can overlap with other health concerns.
Bleeding changes, sleep, mood, hot flashes, sexual symptoms, and medication effects may all be relevant.
Abnormal bleeding should not automatically be attributed to menopause.
