Perimenopause Markers

Meaning

Perimenopause Markers are a collection of clinical, hormonal, and symptomatic indicators utilized to identify, track, and clinically characterize the transitional phase leading up to the final menstrual period, which is characterized by fluctuating ovarian function. Key hormonal markers include highly variable levels of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estradiol, and a steady decline in Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), alongside the subjective experience of changes in menstrual cycle regularity and the onset of vasomotor symptoms. Monitoring these specific markers provides crucial diagnostic clarity and guides personalized, empathetic support strategies during this significant endocrinological shift.
