Patient's question:
I am over 40 years old, and my menstrual flow is particularly light now. I want to ask if it is normal for menstrual flow to be light in one's 40s?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 40, if menstrual volume decreases again, it is also abnormal. At this age, if menstrual disorders or decreased menstrual volume reappear, it should be considered as premature ovarian failure or endocrine disorders. It is essential to be aware of the risk of menopause and undergo a thorough examination with the six hormone tests to confirm the specific cause. Medications can be taken orally based on the condition, while also paying attention to rest and maintaining a calm mood.
