perimenopause
This term describes a biological transition rather than a single event. It is used primarily in medical and health contexts to distinguish the fluctuating hormonal phase from menopause, which is clinically defined as the point after twelve consecutive months without a menstrual period.
Because it refers to a specific physiological state or period of time, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form in standard medical or conversational usage, as it describes a singular life stage experienced by an individual.
