Patient's question:
My mother is 56 years old this year. Some people in the family who are a few years younger than her have already gone through menopause, but only my mother is still 56. So I want to ask what is going on. Also, what is the maximum age for menopause?Doctor's answer:
For general healthy women, the period between 45 and 55 years old is called perimenopause. Some people also go through menopause during this time. However, if the menstrual period is prolonged and menopause has not occurred by the age of 55, it is necessary to digest progesterone. Prolonged lack of menopause with normal menstrual cycles but a deficiency in progesterone may lead to endometrial inflammation. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
