Patient's question:
I have started menopause, of course, just like normal people, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and then got medication. I have been taking it for a year, but my period hasn't come yet. I traveled to the United States and stayed with a friend. Is this a symptom of pre-menopause or is my body just having recurring problems? Does the menstrual period before menopause involve heavy bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Menopause varies from person to person. Entering menopause, ovarian function declines first, followed by a progressive atrophy of the corpus luteum. Follicles grow only to a certain extent, then expand on their own and no longer regress. Before menopause, irregular menstruation often occurs repeatedly, with prolonged menstrual periods, menstrual disorders, and excessive bleeding. It is also possible to experience sudden menopause repeatedly during this period. It is essential to pay close attention to hygiene and maintain sleep quality during this time.
