Female, 56 years old, recently feeling very irritable and having poor skin. Very worried that she might have already entered menopause. Please ask: What is the meaning of the perimenopause?Doctor's answer:
Perimenopause refers to the period before and after menopause. There may be a recurrence of endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, prolonged menstrual duration, and excessive menstrual flow. Symptoms such as irritability, anger, and mood swings may also reappear.
