Patient's question:
My mother is 56 years old this year. Many people in the family who are close to her age have already gone through menopause, but only my mother is still 56 and has not experienced menopause. So I want to ask what is going on with this. Also, what is the typical age for menopause?Doctor's answer:
For generally healthy women, the period between 45 and 55 years old is referred to as perimenopause. Some women also go through menopause during this time. However, if a woman has a prolonged menstrual cycle and has not yet gone through menopause by the age of 55, she may need to take progesterone. Because prolonged lack of menopause, while still having regular menstrual cycles, but lacking progesterone, may lead to endometrial inflammation. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a relaxed mood. Only with a positive mindset and adequate sleep can you quickly recover from the illness.
