Patient's question:
I am 56 years old this year, and it has been two months since my last menstrual period. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent nausea and dry vomiting. I would like to ask if nausea can occur during the early stages of menopause?Doctor's answer:
Before women go through menopause, they will definitely experience changes in their menstrual cycle, characterized by irregular periods. This is because women in the perimenopausal stage may have infrequent ovulation or no ovulation at all, further resulting in irregular menstrual cycles. Some women may have periods every 2-3 months, gradually extending to every 6 months, or even complete menopause. Some women may experience spotting in the vagina, a loss of regularity in their periods, an increase or decrease in menstrual flow, depending on the individual circumstances of each patient.
