What are the menstrual symptoms of menopause in women

During menopause, women's menstruation stops. It is precisely because of the cessation of menstruation that the endocrine system in the body becomes disordered, which leads to the occurrence of menopausal symptoms. After menopausal symptoms occur, they must be treated and controlled in a timely manner, otherwise they may cause other more serious physical illnesses. So what are the menstrual symptoms of menopause in women? Let us introduce it below.

(1) Occasional menstruation: The interval between menstrual cycles is long, from the normal 20 to 30 days to 2 to 3 months or longer. The menstrual flow may be normal or less than before, and the interval between menstruation may gradually increase to 4 to 5 months or half a year, and then stop completely.

(2) Menstrual cycle disorders: The normal menstrual cycle changes to irregular vaginal bleeding, which is sometimes prolonged or becomes continuous vaginal bleeding, which lasts for 1 to 2 months. Heavy vaginal bleeding may also occur, and the patient may develop anemia, sallow complexion, general fatigue, palpitations, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, hemoglobin may be significantly reduced. Some women have repeated bleeding, but generally after 1 to 2 years, menstruation stops completely. At this time, the doctor should conduct a detailed examination, first excluding bleeding caused by tumors. For women over 40 years old, a comprehensive examination or endometrial biopsy should be performed. After excluding the tumor, treatment is then continued for menopausal menstrual disorders. Menstrual cycle disorders are most common before menopause. It is reported that an observation of 282 premenopausal women revealed that 181 of them had menstrual cycle disorders, accounting for 63.8%.

(3) Sudden menopause: A small number of women have had normal menstrual cycles and periods in the past, but suddenly go through menopause; others have normal cycles, but only have a few periods where the amount of menstruation gradually decreases, and then menstruation suddenly stops. It was reported that 282 women with natural menopause were observed and found that 40 of them had sudden menopause, accounting for 14.1%. Therefore, the majority are the first two manifestations.

Another group of patients experience uterine bleeding after a period of amenorrhea, which lasts for 2 to 4 weeks. The amount of bleeding and the duration of bleeding are related to the duration of estrogen action and the speed of its withdrawal.

The menstrual symptoms of menopause in women are as described above. If a woman experiences menopausal symptoms, she should receive timely and effective treatment and control so that her body can remain in a relatively healthy condition. If menopausal symptoms cannot be kept stable, some physical diseases may occur.
