Patient's question:
In recent years, I feel like my menstrual periods have been getting less frequent, and I think I'm definitely going to go through menopause. But besides the decrease in quantity, I also feel that my mood is particularly bad every time I have my period. I don't know if it's a sign of menopause, but I can't stand myself anymore—I always get angry for no reason.Doctor's answer:
Hello, changes in the length of the menstrual cycle, such as shifting from a 21-day cycle to a 35-day cycle and then to a 27-day cycle, are normal. Additionally, menstrual flow may increase. However, irregular bleeding that occurs at age 40 could be a symptom of uterine polyps. Please do not worry about the past. Your symptoms are generally related to the postmenopausal period, as menopause can lead to endocrine disorders, and some patients may experience discomfort such as dizziness. It is recommended that you pay attention to your diet. Specifically, I suggest you visit the gynecology department for an examination.
