I'm 71 years old, and my period hasn't come for three months. Please ask

Patient's question:

I haven't had my period for three months.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as one ages, ovarian function transitions from instability to decline, leading to imbalances that often manifest before menopause as irregular menstruation, cycle disruptions, prolonged periods, and prolonged bleeding. Meanwhile, symptoms such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), cyclic breast tenderness, edema, and headaches may subside. Menopause occurs at varying ages, but it is generally between 45 and 47. The diagnosis of menopause requires retrospective confirmation, with at least 6 to 12 months of amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) to establish the diagnosis. Apart from some health supplements, avoid taking medications blindly.
