Patient's question:
My aunt is already over 50 years old. When I met her recently, I felt she had changed a bit. She used to be very warm and welcoming to others, but when I saw her yesterday, she seemed reluctant to talk to anyone. I asked my mom if my aunt was sick, and my mom told me that she might be approaching menopause recently, so she's just a bit out of sorts. What kind of help is needed: What are the symptoms before menopause?Doctor's answer:
Menopause varies from person to person. Generally, in our country, it is around 46-47 years old in rural areas, while in cities it may be slightly later due to better nutrition, around 50 years old. This is the typical age for normal menopause.Irregular menstrual cycles: This is a major symptom of premenopausal changes. The transition from a regular menstrual cycle to irregular vaginal bleeding, sometimes with extended periods or converting to persistent vaginal bleeding.
