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. How should women in their fifties take care of their menstrual health?Doctor's answer:
1. Habits should be good. Try to go to bed early and wake up early.2. Dietary habits should be good. Fruits and vegetables are essential. It's best to eat more calcium-rich foods. Around the age of 50 is the age of menopause. You can take soy isoflavones or royal jelly. Normal menstrual bleeding usually lasts 3 to 7 days. If it exceeds 10 days, it can be considered prolonged bleeding. Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by many factors, common ones include: fatigue during the period, cold exposure, endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, blood diseases, liver or kidney lesions, abnormal endometrium, etc. After the bleeding stops, it is necessary to check the six sex hormones and perform an ultrasound to identify the cause and then treat accordingly.
