Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perimenopause is the time period before menopause when hormone production decreases. This typically occurs in a woman's late 40s or early 50s and can last several years before complete menopause is reached. Premenopause refers to the time period before perimenopause when hormone levels are still relatively stable. Pseudomenopause is not a recognized medical term. Postmenopause refers to the time period after menopause has been reached, when hormone levels have stabilized at their lowest point.
