Patient's question:
I just turned 40 this year, but I haven't had my period for the past year. My female friends say I might be going through menopause. However, I have a friend who is already over 50, but her period still comes regularly.Hello doctor, I'm only 40 this year, and I'm basically menopausal now. Is this normal?
Doctor's answer:
According to your current situation, it is first necessary to consider the occurrence of abnormal conditions multiple times. Based on your current age, it would be highly unlikely for there to be multiple occurrences of amenorrhea. Therefore, in view of the current situation, it is still recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination, including a detailed check of the uterine appendages, to clarify the current specific growth and development status. It is also necessary to conduct hormone level tests to identify the specific reason behind the amenorrhea.
