Patient's question:
I am already 45 years old this year. In the first half of the year, I had already gone through menopause. It has been more than half a year since my last menstrual period, but this month, I suddenly had my period again. I feel strange about it and want to ask what it means to have a period after menopause? Is this situation normal? Do I need to seek medical treatment?Doctor's answer:
In the two or three years before and after menopause, it may be possible to experience abnormal menstrual cycles, which could mean having a period every few months. This is not considered abnormal and is one of the manifestations of menstrual changes during menopause. Menopause at the age of 45 is still considered normal and not early. Since you have had another period now, if it ends within a week, no treatment is needed. Rest and avoid getting colds. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
