Two and a half months without a menstrual period, is it menopause?

Patient's question:

I usually have my period either earlier or later, and this time when it didn't come at all, I thought it was normal. But now it's been two months since my last period, and my body hasn't shown any other discomfort. Could this be early menopause? Is it possible that the patient hasn't had her period for two and a half months, indicating menopause?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it could be perimenopause. The menopausal age for Chinese women is between 45 and 55 years old. You are currently 44 years old, and before entering menopause, you may experience one or two years of irregular menstruation, such as coming every few months or twice a month. This is all normal, as it is caused by hormonal imbalances in the body. Don't worry too much. You can go to the hospital and undergo a thorough examination under the guidance of a gynecologist to rule out organic inflammation, and then understand this natural phenomenon with a positive attitude.
