Patient's question:
Good friend is 44 years old, her menstrual cycle was relatively normal in the past, but in the past two years, her period has come one week earlier each time. Is it menopause at the age of 44 if the period comes one week earlier?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be more likely due to menstrual irregularities during menopause, as you are in the menopausal stage and approaching the age of menopause. Women in menopause often experience emotional instability and menstrual irregularities again. The current recurrence of menstrual cycle disorders may be a manifestation of menopausal menstrual irregularities, or it could be considered an organic inflammation of the uterus and its appendages. Women over the age of 40 are more prone to conditions such as uterine fibroids and ovarian inflammation due to changes in hormonal levels in the female body. In this case, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for an ultrasound and a thorough endocrine examination. If organic inflammation is detected, timely treatment should be administered to avoid further adverse inflammation.
