Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle has been really abnormal lately. Not only is the timing irregular, but the volume is also irregular—sometimes heavy, sometimes light. I know I'm getting older, and my period is almost ending, but I don't know. I don't know if this irregularity is considered normal.Hello, does menstrual irregularity include amenorrhea?
Doctor's answer:
Now I am 49 years old and approaching menopause. During this stage, ovarian function has already started to decline, and hormone levels have become unstable, so it is possible to experience symptoms similar to those described. This is a normal phenomenon, and most of the time it is not a serious issue and does not need to be worried about. Generally, these symptoms will gradually subside after persisting for a period of time, and as long as the menstrual flow is not excessive and there are no obvious discomfort symptoms, it is best to let nature take its course.
