Patient's question:
I am already 44 years old this year. Recently, my menstruation has been consistently irregular. It has been half a month, and it hasn't stopped yet. I have to change sanitary pads every day, and even washing daily doesn't help. It's so annoying. What could be the reason for my irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation may reappear for various reasons. Women aged 45 to 55 are already in the menopausal age range, so it's possible that you may experience irregular menstruation again shortly after menopause. However, it is necessary to have blood tests for six hormones on the second day of your period to check if your hormone levels are disrupted. Additionally, your sleep schedule should be regular, and you should avoid staying up late. It is also important to maintain a positive mood, as hormone levels tend to decline during menopause, which can lead to emotional fluctuations. Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence, and during medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
