Is metrorrhagia a precursor to menopause?



Whether metrorrhagia (excessive menstrual flow or dribbling) is a precursor to menopause cannot be generalized. If the patient is in the age group of about 40-50, the occurrence of menstrual disorders and metrorrhagia may be a precursor to menopause.

Menorrhagia is a disease in Chinese gynecology, mainly refers to the menstrual blood that comes down at irregular intervals or is not exhausted, it is a menstrual disease in which the menstrual cycle, menstrual period and menstrual flow are seriously disturbed, and occasional heavy menstrual flow or prolongation of the menstrual period is not equal to menorrhagia.

Menopause refers to the permanent cessation of menstruation due to the failure of ovarian function. Menopause can only be recognized as menopause after 12 consecutive months of menopause. Perimenopause usually occurs after the age of 40 and is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles followed by hot flashes, sweating, mood swings, vaginal dryness and pain.

A crash can occur at all times from adolescence to middle age and is usually not age-related, so for most women, a crash is not a precursor to menopause. However, for women in their 40s and 50s, leakage may indicate perimenopause, the slow onset of menopause.

When discomfort occurs, you should seek medical attention and choose medication under the guidance of your doctor, rather than using your own medication.
