Around 80 per cent of women will experience symptoms of perimenopause in the years leading up to the change of life and for 20 per cent of women, these symptoms will be severe. Yet perimenopause is something many women know very little about.
In a study by the women's health and wellness platform Xali, 38 per cent of women revealed they were unaware that perimenopause existed. "I think one of the most important things for women to do in this stage of their life is talk to each other, their partner, family and friends," Naz de Bono, founder of Xali, says. "This is currently not happening."
WHEN DOES IT BEGIN?
On average, perimenopause starts four to six years before the change, but it can last as little as one year or as long as 10. Because perimenopause is poorly understood, many women don't recognise that they're experiencing it. According to research by Xali, 29 per cent of women don't attribute their symptoms to menopause, which means they're missing out on potential treatments.
