Perimenopause and the Menstrual Cycle

How does perimenopause affect periods?

Written by Patient_Care

When women are in perimenopause — the phase leading up to menopause — their periods can change dramatically. Some may experience heavier bleeding, while others have lighter bleeding; in some months, both can occur.
​
Cycles may also become shorter or longer or vary from month to month. This irregularity is common in the time leading up to the complete cessation of periods.
