Patient's question:
Doctor, what should I do if menopause occurs prematurely? This is my mother. Lately, she told me that her menstrual flow has been decreasing, and this month she hasn't had her period at all. She mentioned wanting to see if she's going through menopause, but it seems her age is still not at the stage where menopause would typically occur. How should I handle this? I feel a bit anxious seeing her go through menopause, is this a problem?Doctor's answer:
Before the age of forty-eight, if menopause occurs due to premature ovarian failure, after the age of forty-eight, if menopause occurs, it is a physiological phenomenon, which is a natural law. If there are menopausal symptoms, they can be treated with gynecological medications, etc. If there are no symptoms, there is no need for special treatment. If you still want menstruation to resume, estrogen and progesterone can be taken for treatment. Daily life requires more attention to rest, eating more light food, and properly matching your diet.
