Patient's question:
I'm only 40 years old now, and my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. But recently, it has been taking a long time for it to come. One time, it only came once in a year. My friend said it might be close to menopause. I don't want to go through menopause yet. Will I go through menopause in this situation?Doctor's answer:
The patient is only 40 years old now and has not yet reached the age of menopause. Generally, ovarian function declines around the age of 50-55. In your current condition, it is recommended to visit a hospital to check your ovarian function. There is also a possibility of experiencing symptoms of premature ovarian failure again. Premature ovarian failure can lead to menopause, which may cause various symptoms such as vaginal atrophy, decreased libido, hot flashes, sweating, and osteoporosis.
