By Lisa Sousou While menopause - the complete cessation of menstrual periods - can be a welcome milestone in a way for many women, the years leading up to menopause, or perimenopause, can be less welcomed. During these years, estrogen levels decline, leading to irregular menstrual periods. Also during this time, some women will begin to experience symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruptions, mood changes or depression, and/or vaginal dryness, while others will experience few problematic symptoms at all. These symptoms can be short-lived, or can last for several years to a decade, even after menopause occurs, and into postmenopause (the time after menopause occurs).
