What are the menopausal menstrual symptoms? This knowledge women need to understand

When women reach menopause, they will have many symptoms, and the most obvious manifestation is the change of menstruation, such as some women will stop menstruation when they reach menopause, or the menstrual period is relatively short, and the menstrual flow is significantly reduced.

1. There are three major symptoms of menstrual irregularities during menopause

1. Intermittent amenorrhea, short menstruation, decreased menstrual flow, and then slowly stop;

2. The menstrual cycle is irregular, the menstrual period is prolonged, the menstrual flow increases, and even heavy bleeding, sometimes inexhaustible, and then gradually decreases until it stops completely;

3. Menstruation suddenly stops, and no more cramps come after that.

Generally speaking, the symptoms of menopausal menstrual irregularities are physiological and normal, but menopausal women should be vigilant when they have symptoms such as intermittent heavy bleeding or long-term irregular bleeding and postmenopausal bleeding to rule out disease factors.

(1) Oligomenorrhea: The menstrual cycle is prolonged, and the interval between two menstruations changes from the original 30 days to 2-3 months, and gradually extends to more than 4-6 months until complete menopause.

(2) Menstrual disorders: from the original regular menstrual cycle to irregular vaginal bleeding, the menstrual cycle can range from 15-60 days, sometimes the menstrual period is prolonged, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding continues, which can be dripping for more than 1 month. Some women may experience long-term heavy vaginal bleeding, and in severe cases, anemia may occur, which is called "dysfunctional uterine bleeding".

(3) Sudden menopause: A small number of women only have a few times when menstrual flow decreases, and menstruation suddenly stops.
