Patient's question:
Recently, my menstruation has been irregular for the past six months. In the previous few months, the flow was light, and the last time it was heavy. It has been 40 days since the last period, and it has not come yet. What is the normal age for menopause?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is normal for women to experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. If there is no menstrual period for more than a year, it is considered menopause. In your case, the irregular menstruation may be caused by endocrine disorders during perimenopause. It is recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a hospital for an examination. You should undergo an ultrasound examination of the uterus or a color Doppler ultrasound, as well as a blood test for six sex hormones. Based on the examination results, the cause can be identified, and targeted treatment can then be administered.
