Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm only 40 this year, but recently I've experienced emotional irritability again, can't sleep at night, and my menstruation has stopped. I've heard it might be the onset of menopause. I'm still so young, could you please help me? How can I delay the onset of menopause? I hope for your assistance.Doctor's answer:
The average age for women to enter menopause is around 49. If this situation reoccurs at the age of 40, it is not considered the onset of menopause. It may be more related to irregular living habits, frequent staying up late, high work pressure, and so on. It could also be caused by certain illnesses, and it is best to have a thorough check-up at the hospital. Postponed menopause is usually treated with hormone medication, but it is not recommended to use it if you are of the right age.
