Precautions for women in menopause

We usually need to pay attention to the onset of menopause. Many women will experience menopause around the age of 50. These women will experience bleeding and hot flashes, which seriously affect their health. We usually need to pay attention to some preventive health care to avoid causing more impact.

1. The age of menopause among women varies greatly, with the average age of menopause being approximately 51 or 52 years old.

Most women go through menopause in their early 50s, but some may go through menopause in their 30s, and some women may not go through menopause until they are 60.

2. Even if you still have your periods, you may experience some menopausal symptoms.

You may experience menopausal symptoms several years before menopause. This phase is called perimenopause and usually occurs a few years before menopause and the first year after menopause.

During perimenopause, women's hormone levels fluctuate greatly. Therefore, women may experience hot flashes and changes in their menstrual cycles during this period. The amount of menstrual flow may suddenly be much more than before, or it may be less than before; the menstrual cycle may become shorter or longer, or there may be no menstruation in some months. Although women in perimenopause have reduced fertility, they can still get pregnant.

3. Hot flashes may occur before menopause.

Although not every woman will experience hot flashes before and after menopause, it is estimated that about 80% to 85% of women will experience hot flashes during perimenopause and postmenopause. The severity and frequency of hot flashes vary from person to person. Women with a higher body mass index (BMI) and earlier menopause have a higher frequency of hot flashes and night sweats.
