Is it normal not to have a period at the age of 47?

If you don't have your period at the age of 47, you should be in menopause. Menopause occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, which is the female menopause. Female menopause is very likely to cause amenorrhea.

If you do not have menstruation before the age of 40, it is due to various reasons:

1. Endocrine imbalance, such as hyperactivity of the adrenal glands, anemia, tuberculosis, nephritis, diabetes and other diseases, will affect the normal functioning of the menstrual period and cause amenorrhea.

2. Psychological disorders such as anxiety, excessive stress, and changes in the natural environment can also affect the normal menstrual period, leading to delayed menstruation or amenorrhea.

3. Surgical treatment, such as intrauterine surgery, if it is complicated by cervical adhesion, it will cause menstrual retention and no menstruation.

4. Side effects of drugs. Emergency contraception can affect women’s endocrine system and cause irregular menstruation.

Therefore, if women are not experiencing amenorrhea during menopause, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. The examination items include uterine examination, ovarian examination, pituitary function examination and chromosome examination. Through the above examinations, the cause of the disease can be found, which can also help patients with medication treatment.

What should I do if my period doesn’t come?

1. Go to the hospital for examination to find out the cause, and use hormones for periodic treatment of the cause. Taking hormone drugs strictly according to the doctor's orders usually takes about 20 days, and combined with intramuscular injection treatment, it usually takes three to five days. Unless the situation is very serious, menstruation will usually come within a few days after treatment. It should be noted that the menstruation at this time is not the body's own menstrual cycle, but is caused by artificial menstrual treatment. Therefore, artificial menstrual treatment should be continued starting from the sixth day of this menstrual period. Under the effect of artificial menstrual treatment, the menstrual period will gradually return to normal.

2. Inject a menstrual induction drug immediately. Generally, the menstrual period will begin on the tenth day after the injection. Inject again on the second day after the menstrual period. Repeat the injection five times at this interval to promote the natural menstruation of the body.

3. You can relieve your period by taking Chinese herbal medicine, but the effective period may be longer.
