During the menopausal stage, women will gradually experience various menopausal symptoms such as menstrual disorders, prolonged menstrual cycles, and reduced menstrual flow. Moreover, menstruation will gradually cease. If there is no menstruation for a period of time, it is called menopause. So, how many years does it take for a woman's menstrual cycle to be considered menopause?
1. Most female friends enter menopause around the age of 50, followed by prolonged menstrual cycles and decreased menstrual blood flow, gradually leading to a lack of menstruation. If the menstrual period lasts for more than a year, it is considered menopause.
2. Some middle-aged women have not yet reached menopause, but due to various factors such as overwork, long-term excessive dieting and weight loss, and excessive mental stress, endocrine disorders can also lead to menstrual disorders. This may also cause menstrual intervals of several months, but regulating the endocrine system can gradually restore normal menstruation. And this situation does not belong to normal menopausal symptoms, so it should be distinguished from physiological menopause in women.
3. In addition, postmenopausal women may experience a significant decrease in estrogen and progesterone secretion due to ovarian dysfunction, as well as a decrease in physiological vaginal secretions, which can lead to vaginal dryness and senile vaginitis. So postmenopausal female friends should pay more attention to the cleanliness and care of the perineum area. If there are abnormal itching and other discomfort symptoms, they should seek medical examination in a timely manner.
