According to experts, this prior time period would be perimenopause.<\/p><p>It is characterised by a set of endocrinological, unpredictable and variable changes that can cause various imbalances, from sleep disorders and hot flushes to mood swings, for example. However, the most indicative symptom is menstrual alterations: your period occurs more or less frequently, lasts more or fewer days, you have more or less bleeding, there are breaks between cycles\u2026<\/p><p>All these irregularities fall within what may be normal at this stage. Nevertheless, for this very reason it can sometimes be difficult to tell whether vaginal bleeding is abnormal because there is some kind of medical condition or because the menopause is imminent.
