When a woman reaches menopause, her periods stop. Perimenopause occurs before menopause. During perimenopause, women face many problems like insomnia, bloating, constipation, dizziness, etc. During perimenopause, women's hormones become imbalanced, which also causes mood swings. Perimenopause occurs only after the age of 40. A study by Dr. Jennifer Payne of the University of Virginia has shown that many women experience perimenopause at the age of 30. 

what the study says 

This study was conducted on 4,432 American women, where more than half of the women in the age group of 30-35 reported symptoms similar to perimenopause. When doctors examined them, the symptoms were identified as perimenopause. This study has shown that perimenopause occurs at the age of 30, whereas earlier it was said that perimenopause occurs at the age of 45 to 50. 

Dr. Jennifer Payne's opinion 

Study author Dr. Jennifer Payne, MD, a specialist in reproductive psychiatry at UVA Health and the University of Virginia School of Medicine, said that the physical and emotional symptoms associated with perimenopause are understood and sometimes doctors dismiss these symptoms. This research is to understand how common these symptoms are and what effect they have on women. Apart from this, this study has also been done to spread awareness among doctors as well as common people.
