At what age does menopause usually occur?

Patient's question:

I am currently in the third year of junior high school. My period started last semester, and many of my classmates got their periods much earlier than me. Now I have to buy sanitary pads every month. When I buy them, I feel so embarrassed. Sometimes, I accidentally get it on my pants during class, and the male classmates even laugh at me. That's why I really dislike my period and just wish it wouldn't come.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Menopause refers to a series of changes that occur when the human body enters the stage of gonadal dysfunction and the levels of sex hormones decline, including menstrual disorders, irregular periods, and other gynecological diseases. It commonly occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55. The onset of menopause not only affects a woman's life but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
