Patient's question:
It is normal to start menstruating during puberty. After giving birth to two children, there haven't been any significant changes in menstruation. However, in the past year, I've noticed some abnormalities in my period—sometimes it comes only once every two months, and other times it comes twice a month. The amount of blood each time is also very little. Is it possible that these menstrual irregularities could indicate that menopause is approaching?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 46, there might be a recurrence of abnormal menstrual cycles, with two periods in one month, and the flow is relatively light. This could be a symptom caused by abnormal hormone levels in the body, or it could be a manifestation of menopause due to declining hormone levels. It is possible that this is a sign of impending menopause, so there is no need to be anxious. Observe your specific symptoms carefully for a period of time.
