Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for four months. I'm very sure I'm not pregnant. Previously, I always had it every month. But about four months ago, my periods were irregular for several months, always delayed and unpredictable. Then, without realizing it, I haven't had it for four months. Is not having a period for four months considered amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
You are 50 years old and haven't had your period for 4 months, so it's likely that you are entering menopause. Menopause is an important physiological process for women, typically occurring around the age of 50. Since you are currently 50, experiencing menopause is a very normal phenomenon and there's no need to be too anxious. However, it's best to visit a regular hospital for gynecological ultrasound and other detailed examinations to understand if there are any other inflammations. If no significant abnormalities are found through the examination, there's no need for treatment, and you can simply let nature take its course.
