Patient's question:
Taking birth control pills to regulate periods, after stopping the medication, she hasn't had her period for more than two and a half months.Doctor's answer:
If a woman does not have her menstrual period on time every month, it is medically referred to as amenorrhea, which involves both the function of the pituitary gland and the ovaries, as well as issues with uterine development. Your current condition should be considered premenopausal symptoms and cannot yet be defined as menopause. The diagnosis of menopause requires retrospective review to confirm, and the absence of menstruation must persist for at least 6 months to 1 year to establish the diagnosis. You are still young, and if menopause occurs, it would be quite early. It is recommended that you maintain your condition through medication for a few more years.
