Dr. Yasmine Maazouzi guides you through every stage of menopause in Marseille — from perimenopause to post-menopause — with personalised care and clear information on all therapeutic options.
Understanding menopause
Menopause is a natural physiological transition marking the permanent end of menstrual periods for at least 12 consecutive months, caused by the decline in ovarian function. It occurs on average around age 51 in France.
Perimenopause is the transition period preceding menopause, which can last several years, characterised by irregular cycles and the first climacteric symptoms such as hot flushes and sleep disturbances.
