Menopause is now known as the perimenopause, which refers to the period between the onset of menstrual disorders and one year after menstruation stops, and one year after menstruation stops, menopause occurs. The duration of perimenopause can vary from 1-10 years. Some women may experience different degrees of symptoms during perimenopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, depression, abnormal uterine bleeding, low libido, headaches, etc., which are mainly related to the fluctuation of sex hormone levels during perimenopause and symptoms of blood vessels, nerves, and other systemic symptoms caused by the low level of estrogen. During this period, women’s physical and mental health should be cared for, and they should be guided to go through menopause smoothly, re-examining themselves from life and spirit, and paying attention to the occurrence of reproductive tumors, especially distinguishing between the irregular vaginal bleeding caused by menopausal menstrual disorders and that caused by endometrial cancer, and when the effect of medication for stopping bleeding is not obvious, it is necessary to carry out surgical diagnostic scraping and send the endometrium for pathologic examination.
