Entering perimenopause prematurely can lead to an early loss of fertility because the ovaries start to produce less estrogen sooner than usual. Additionally, the decreased estrogen levels over a longer period increase the risk for osteoporosis, as estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density.
