| Abstract | Perimenopause, occurring between the ages of 40 and 55, involves hormonal fluctuations that cause vasomotor, psychological, and cognitive symptoms, which can affect daily life and work performance. In Malaysia, where the average age of menopause is 50.7 years and women make up 55.6% of the workforce, many face challenges in balancing symptoms with work and family responsibilities. Despite its significant impact, perimenopause remains under recognised in Malaysian workplaces, leading to stigma, stress and unmet health needs. |
