Patient's question:
I am 47 years old and seem to have already gone through menopause. It has been more than a year since my last menstrual period. If it weren't for the New Year, I wouldn't have remembered how long it's been since I last had my period. Because that time I had my period was also on New Year's Day. Is it normal to go through menopause at 47?Doctor's answer:
The age at which women go through menopause is generally around 45 to 55 years old. At the age of 47, experiencing menopause again is also normal. If menstruation does not occur for less than three months, it is considered menopause. You can choose to go to the hospital for a thorough examination of the six sex hormones to confirm and then take estrogen to regulate. Sufficient estrogen can alleviate menopausal discomfort. Menopause is related to a decrease in estrogen, and sufficient estrogen can solve the problem.
