What are the symptoms of menopausal irregular menstruation?

Irregular menstruation is a problem that many women will encounter. For most women, irregular menstruation will change the menstrual cycle and the amount of bleeding, which is very difficult to control. However, women in menopause may also have irregular menstruation. However, after menopause, many women do not understand the phenomenon of their irregular menstruation very well. Today, the editor will introduce it to you.

(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. Sometimes the menstrual period is prolonged or becomes continuous vaginal bleeding, which lasts for 1 to 2 months. Heavy vaginal bleeding may also occur. 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.

(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. Another part of women 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 action of estrogen.
