What constitutes menopause?

Patient's question:

Just had one menstrual period, is it menopause?

Doctor's answer:

Menopause is a period when a woman's ovarian function begins to decline and eventually ceases. Typically, women enter menopause around the age of 45-50. The main symptoms include reduced menstrual flow, prolonged intervals between periods, and accompanied by some psychological and mental symptoms. In your case, if you do not have any other gynecological conditions, menopause should be considered. During menopause, due to the decline in ovarian function, estrogen levels decrease, which can lead to conditions such as calcium deficiency and osteoporosis. It is advisable to supplement with calcium appropriately. At the same time, it is important to regulate your mental and emotional well-being. If necessary, it is recommended that you visit a gynecology department for a health check-up.
