The year before menopause belongs to the menopausal transition period, during which a series of symptoms will appear.
The following symptoms can occur during the menopausal transition: First, menstrual disorders. When women enter the menopausal transition, their menstrual cycle changes. Some women exhibit a prolonged menstrual cycle. Some women may exhibit irregular vaginal bleeding. It is important to note that drenching bleeding during the menopausal transition needs to be differentiated from endometrial lesions. If necessary, a visit to the local hospital is needed to clarify the diagnosis. Second, emotional changes. As estrogen levels decline in the body, most women experience mood swings such as irritability. Third, osteoporosis. Women entering menopause have an accelerated rate of bone loss. Fourth, cardiovascular symptoms. Some women will experience cardiovascular symptoms such as heartburn and hot flashes as they enter menopause. All of the above symptoms are physiological changes, and if the symptoms are mild, they can be given no special treatment. However, if the symptoms are more severe, then a visit to the local hospital is required. If necessary, hormone replacement therapy should be given.
In summary, menstrual disorders, mood swings, bone loss and cardiovascular symptoms may occur before menopause, which is also known as menopausal syndrome.
