Patient's question:
My wife is 49 years old. She usually has a regular menstrual cycle and is generally in good health. Recently, she has been quite irritable and easily angered. She says she hasn't had her period for three months. People say that women tend to become more irritable during menopause, but how could my wife have already gone through menopause? How did she enter menopause?Doctor's answer:
Three months without a menstrual period may be related to menstrual irregularities during menopause. Considering your current age, it could be possible that you have already gone through menopause. It is recommended to visit a hospital to check your sex hormone levels. If you are in menopause, it is advisable to take estrogen under the guidance of a doctor to regulate your condition. This can help alleviate menopausal discomfort symptoms. Additionally, you should consume more soy products, maintain physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
