Patient's question:
I am only 42 years old this year and have gone through menopause, is it too early? Should I take some medication to regulate my menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current age, menopause is occurring prematurely. Due to the long absence of menstruation, it is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound and blood tests for the six major sex hormones to observe the hormonal levels and ovarian function in your body. Combined with the ultrasound examination of the uterus and ovaries, the cause of the absent menstruation can be determined. Medication can be used to regulate the condition and observe whether normal menstruation can be restored. It is also recommended to consume more foods rich in phytoestrogen, such as black beans, soybeans, soy milk, and some grains, to moderately supplement the hormones in your body.
