Can a 47-year-old still have menstruation?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can a 47-year-old still have her period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering your age, it is possible that you may experience menopause, but you can also use medication to regulate your menstrual cycle to ensure its normality. Menopause requires at least three months of amenorrhea. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
