New resource: Perimenopause and Menopause

Perimenopause is the time before periods stop.

Menopause is when periods stop completely. It usually happens from age 40 or later.

Women with Down syndrome may experience these changes earlier.

Hormone changes can affect the body and mood.

This resource explains:

– What perimenopause and menopause are
– Common signs to notice
– What can help day to day
– When to speak to a doctor

Understanding these changes helps women feel more prepared and supported.
