Dr. Bodie will outline the symptoms of perimenopause and treatments available to women who are going through perimenopause. Perimenopause, otherwise known as menopause transition, is the stage of a woman's reproductive life that begins at least 12 months before menopause, when the ovaries gradually begin to produce less estrogen. It usually starts in a woman's 40s, but can start in a woman's 30s or earlier.
