Perimenopause Period: Symptom and Causes

Symptoms of Perimenopause depend on hormonal fluctuations.

• Hot flashes and night sweats
  
• Vaginal dryness
  
• Breast tenderness
  
• Uterine bleeding problems
  
• Sleep disturbances
  
• Mood swings
  
• Sweating 
  
• Difficulty concentrating
  
• Menstrual irregularity
  
• Urine leakage when coughing or sneezing
  
• Urinary urgency (a pressing need to urinate more frequently)

This condition is caused due to hormonal fluctuations. As you go through the menopausal transition, your body production of estrogen and progesterone rises and falls. Many of the changes you experience during perimenopause are a result of decreasing estrogen.
