Her body goes through changes that can affect her family life, her social life, her feelings about herself and how she functions at work. Complicated? Not really...
The beginning:
For the first 15 years - from birth to childhood to adolescence - she is careless,
free and wide-eyed with what the world has to offer her. She discovers
womanhood when she comes of age. She will be more self-conscious and curious
with the changes happening to her body. Life will be a voyage of exciting
adventures. Every experience is new and fresh.Pre-Menopause: Pre-menopause refers to the entirety of her reproductive life, from menstruation to menopause. Physical changes begin to accelerate in this stage which is immediately prior to menopause. She is most likely to experience visible physical changes due to the descent in hormone production.
Perimenopause:
Perimenopause means "about the time of menopause". It concerns the
two to eight years when hormone levels are changing. The most common
indications of perimenopause are irregular menstrual cycles, anxiety and lack
of energy or irritability caused by hormonal fluctuations. Women usually start
perimenopause between the ages of 39 and 51 but this differs with every woman.
