Patient's question:
I am 58 years old this year, and my health has generally been quite good. Up until now, besides menstruation, it has not been normal for the past two months. The days of menstruation are extremely few and light. By this month, it has already been seven or eight days since it was supposed to come. I would like to consult about this: In my case, how can I go through menopause?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the age of menopause is between 45 and 55 years old. You are now 58 years old. If your menstrual cycle only resumes without regularity, further careful examination is needed to understand the endocrine status and the condition of the endometrium. Currently, your menstrual cycle has become irregular again, which is considered to be caused by a rise in hormones, which is typical before menopause. Close and careful monitoring is sufficient. Under normal circumstances, menopause is usually confirmed by tests showing a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels.
