Perimenopause

A session on perimenopause, the phase of hormonal change before menopause, held at the Chelsea Physic Garden in Chelsea, London.

This activity is devoted to perimenopause, the phase of hormonal change that comes before menopause and can begin several years earlier. It takes place at the Chelsea Physic Garden, in the Chelsea district of London, and suits anyone wanting to understand this transition, whether for themselves or for someone close to them.

Symptoms during this stage may include irregular cycles, changes in sleep and shifts in mood, although experiences vary widely. Menopause itself is the point twelve months after the last period, so perimenopause refers to the years leading up to it. The activity centres on these changes and on the transition itself.
