Patient's question:
Some colleagues experience menopause around the age of 45, while others don't until they are 54. What are the differences between menopause at the age of 45 and menopause at the age of 54?Doctor's answer:
The average age of menopause for women in our country is around 49. If menopause occurs at the age of 45, this is a bit early. At this time, you can go to the hospital to have six sex hormone tests and a color ultrasound. Then, based on the results of these two tests, you can assess the condition of ovarian decline. If it is indeed early menopause that is unavoidable, then at this point, you can only have regular follow-ups and take some medication to regulate menopausal symptoms. If the ovarian function is poor and leads to amenorrhea, medication can be used to treat the symptoms accordingly. Generally, you can take some herbs to nourish the liver and kidneys and regulate menstruation to treat the symptoms.
