Perimenopause is known to last on average around 4 years. The symptoms that come with perimenopause will ease gradually once you enter menopause and postmenopause. As we age, we start to experience more and more things happening to our bodies, menopause is one of those things and is a natural part of aging. As we age, we begin to produce less estrogen until we no longer menstruate. Once you stop having your periods, and you have noticed none within 12 months, you have finally reached menopause.
