Patient's question:
Feeling always irritable and restless. My period hasn't come for half a month after it was supposed to. Doubting if I'm entering menopause. What hormones should be checked for menopause?Doctor's answer:
This refers to the six sex hormone tests, primarily focusing on a thorough examination of estrogen, progesterone, or estradiol. Additionally, it's recommended to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the uterine appendages. At your age, it's possible to consider menopausal syndrome, which may lead to the cessation of menstruation. During this period, avoid spicy foods, staying up late, drinking beer, eating hot pot, or spicy chili peppers. Instead, consume more fruits and vegetables to facilitate a smooth transition.
