Patient's question:
Female, 43 years old, really feeling distressed. Lately, she hasn't been able to muster the energy, always making mistakes at work, and frequently arguing with her family. Is this menopause? Please ask: Are women in menopause not suitable for donating blood?Doctor's answer:
As long as it does not exceed the age limit for voluntary blood donation at the blood bank, it is perfectly fine. As people age, their self-healing cells and their self-healing function tend to increase, unlike younger people who are much more active. Irregular voluntary blood donation can stimulate the function of self-healing cells. For women before menopause, excessive blood loss each month can be a stimulus to self-healing cells. After menopause, irregular bloodletting should have certain benefits. This view is supported by some people. Although it is menopause, if all the indicators in your physical examination are normal, you can still donate blood voluntarily.
