| Criteria | Type | Description | Additional comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age of onset | Early perimenopause | Onset before age 40. Can be caused by genetics, autoimmune diseases, or stress. | It is important to exclude pathological causes such as premature ovarian failure. |
| Middle perimenopause | Occurs in the age range of 40-50 years. This is the most common option. | A normal physiological process, typical for most women. | |
| Late perimenopause | Occurs after 50 years. Associated with the genetic characteristics of the body. | Less common, but usually does not require additional intervention. | |
| Severity of symptoms | Mild form | Minor changes in the cycle, occasional hot flashes, mild mood changes. | Usually does not require treatment, supportive therapy is sufficient. |

Surgical methods
If inflammation has caused tissue damage, the doctor may suggest removing it using modern technology. Radio wave therapy and laser cauterization allow you to carefully remove inflamed areas without damaging healthy tissue. The methods are even suitable for women planning a pregnancy, as they do not leave scars.
Cryodestruction freezes damaged areas of tissue, which are then rejected by the body. It is often used if the lesion is deep and requires more intensive intervention.

What is cervicitis?
Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix that can occur due to infection, injury, or other factors. The cervix is an important part of the reproductive system, and its inflammation can cause discomfort or lead to complications.
The most common causes of cervicitis in women are infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, and microflora disorders (such as bacterial vaginosis). Sometimes inflammation is caused by an allergy to latex or injuries after childbirth and surgery.
