What should a 40-year-old woman do if she does not have her period?

Women's menstruation should be very regular, mostly 28-30 days as a cycle. If you have problems with menstrual cycle irregularities, abnormal menstrual blood color, or excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. A person's physical condition will change over time, and no one can prevent decline. Women's menstrual periods stop as they age. Menstruation is a prerequisite for pregnancy, and menstrual disorders cause anxiety for many women. So, what should you do if your period doesn’t come after 40?

If you are 40 years old and have no menstruation, you should first consider the possibility of pregnancy. Go to the hospital for blood tests such as hcg and B-ultrasound to help determine whether you are pregnant. If you are confirmed not to be pregnant, endocrine disorders, premature ovarian failure, pituitary microadenoma, and polycystic ovary syndrome are generally considered. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a complete and practical examination to help determine the cause of amenorrhea based on the examination results.

It can be considered as a condition of amenorrhea. Patients need to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound and six sex hormone tests to see if there is any endocrine disorder or premature ovarian failure. If the examination shows no uterine fibroids or malignant tumors, the patient can take relevant medications under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, the medication can be used for 3-6 menstrual cycles. If menopause occurs too early, it is very easy to cause premature decline, and will cause osteoporosis, hypertension and other diseases at an early stage. The patient needs to be closely observed and treated symptomatically.

In addition, it may also be irregular menstruation, which needs to be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor. It is best to have six blood tests for endocrine function. According to the test results, symptomatic treatment is carried out. After women reach the age of 40, if they find that their menstrual periods are becoming more and more abnormal, they need to be alert, as it may be caused by inflammation or endocrine imbalance.
