Patient's question:
Female, 49 years old, don't know how, for the past half month, she has been experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath. In the afternoon, she feels very irritable and hot. Her sleep is not very good either, and she lacks energy. After examination, it was said that she is in menopause. Please ask: Is amenorrhea a symptom of menopause?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation cannot be menopause. The main symptoms of menopause include flushing, general dryness, and menstrual disorders, and it generally does not recur. Menstruation may be caused by endocrine disorders or ovarian inflammation, with common conditions such as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. It is recommended that patients seek timely examination at a formal hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital for systematic and standardized examination as soon as possible to receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly.
