Patient's question:
I'm only 48 years old this year, and I've been sweating a lot recently. After recovering from a cold, I sweat for a while, then stop, then feel cold. I'm worried it's a symptom of menopause. Please ask: Is menopause at 48 considered early?Doctor's answer:

Your mother doesn't need medication for it.Menopause requires attention:
1. Be open and eliminate hesitation, as menopause is a natural physiological stage that all women go through in their lives.
