Does irregular menstruation at 43 mean menopause?

If you have irregular menstruation at the age of 43, whether it is the time for menopause depends on the specific situation. If there is ovarian dysfunction, it is usually the time for menopause. But if the ovarian function is normal, it is not the time for menopause. It may be other reasons for irregular menstruation. You need to see a doctor in time to find out the specific cause and take active treatment.

1. Yes:

As women age, their ovarian function gradually declines. If a 43-year-old woman has ovarian dysfunction, she will not be able to ovulate normally after her ovaries fail, so she will have irregular menstruation and menopause. Therefore, irregular menstruation caused by this reason is a sign of menopause.

2. No:

If a 43-year-old woman has normal ovarian function but has irregular menstruation, it is considered to be caused by endocrine disorders, intrauterine adhesions, etc. When endocrine disorders occur, the hormone levels in the body will be disordered, which can easily affect menstruation. If there is intrauterine adhesion, the uterine cavity will be completely or partially blocked, which will also affect the normal menstruation of women. Irregular menstruation caused by this reason does not mean menopause.

When irregular menstruation occurs, you need to see a doctor to find out the specific cause and receive active treatment. Women must eat more nutritious foods, such as eggs, beef, vegetables, etc., and do moderate exercise to enhance their physical fitness.
