Patient's question:
Hello, I currently have a very distressing problem. It's been three months since my last menstrual period, but I'm only 40 years old this year. Logically speaking, I should never experience menopause so quickly, right? Recently, I've also been very irritable and tend to get angry over small things. Is this menopause or amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Three months without a menstrual period, this situation should be due to endocrine disorders. If you feel easily irritated or have mood swings, it is likely caused by endocrine issues. It is necessary to promptly undergo examinations and treatment. Oral herbal medicine that promotes liver health and balances qi can be used for treatment. In this case, it cannot be ruled out that there may be amenorrhea, and the cause of endocrine disorders needs to be addressed promptly. Hormone testing for six items should be conducted based on the specific situation, and medication treatment should be administered accordingly.
