Symptoms may include:

• Changes in your menstrual cycle

These symptoms can be signs of:

• Perimenopause –  During the time leading up to menopause, your periods may become irregular. This transition phase can last up to ten years and typically ends one year after your final menstruation.
• Menopause –  Menopause occurs after going 12 months without having a menstrual period. During this time there may be decreased hormone levels. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in the United States.
• Postmenopause – Symptoms (including hot flashes) may continue in the years after menopause, though they usually decrease in frequency and intensity.
