Patient's question:
My wife is over 44 years old this year. Recently, her temper has been particularly bad, she doesn't sleep well at night, and she has even lost weight from all the stress. I'm very worried. Please ask: Is menopause at 44 considered early?Doctor's answer:
For women, menopause refers to the transitional period when ovarian function gradually declines from a peak state to complete disappearance, including the period before and after menopause. It typically occurs between the ages of 40 and 50. During this time, ovarian function gradually atrophies, and estrogen production also increases, leading to various physical changes and uncomfortable symptoms in women. In daily life, it is important to maintain a regular routine, avoid overwork, reduce mental stress, and focus on physical exercise.
