Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 45 years old this year, but my menstruation has not stopped yet. However, I feel that it is a bit abnormal. Because recently, during some periods, my menstrual cycle has been very long, and the amount is not much either. I feel very strange. I am not that old, so I want to ask if a long menstrual cycle with a small amount is a symptom of menopause?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, according to the situation you mentioned, at the age of 45, if this condition reoccurs, it may also be due to approaching menopause. It is recommended to consume more legume foods, as soy contains soy isoflavones which can increase estrogen levels, benefiting the regulation of menstruation. Additionally, always maintain a cheerful mood, eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, ensure sufficient deep sleep and rest, and exercise more to help stabilize the condition.
