Perimenopause or as some describe it "menopause transition" is the stage in a woman's life when her body begins to gradually reduce the level of estrogen it produces. It could start for some women inside their 30s but for most women it starts in their late 40s or early 50s. Perimenopause is normal and can last from two to eight years on average and ends when menopause begins. It is the decreased estrogen production that leads to the physical and emotional changes women experience. It may sound pretty simple but can bring from it a whole host of issues.
