BBC Radio Scotland - Medical Matters, Series 7, The Peri-Menopause

The peri-menopause? Never heard of it? Alison Craig reveals all.

As women we talk about everything - except this. Here goes. The change. The peri-menopause. Or the four or five years of confusion leading up to the menopause.

From your late mid 40s things start to go a bit irregular. Either non-stop rivers of Babylon or once in a blue moon.
Sleeplessness, hot flushes, mood swings, low sex drive, weight gain, memory loss are just a few of the symptoms that that might indicate the peri-menopause. But what is the peri-menopause and how do you know you're in it? Alison Craig talks to the women who have been there and meets the experts who can offer various solutions.
