Perimenopause after 40: 5 signs women in Asia dismiss too easily
We asked three gynaecologists what patients most often wave away as 'just stress' or 'just getting older.' Swipe through for real insights.
1/ Sleep that breaks at 3am — not occasional, but most nights for weeks. Often the earliest sign women report.
2/ Cycles that quietly change — shorter, longer, heavier, or suddenly unpredictable after years of clockwork.
3/ New anxiety or low mood that feels unlike you. Hormones affect mood chemistry; it's not a character flaw.
4/ Joint aches and frozen shoulders that physio alone doesn't fix — a surprisingly common hormonal signal.
5/ Brain fog in familiar tasks. If you're re-reading sentences you wrote, you're not 'losing it' — get checked.
