If you are not menopausal at the age of 55, it may be caused by physiological reasons or ovarian secretory tumor, endometrial cancer, etc. Depending on the situation, you can take regular checkups, surgeries, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, as well as immunotherapy and targeted therapy to deal with the problem.
1. Physiological reasons: The average age of menopause for women is around 50 years old. Due to individual differences, menopause may occur earlier or later. If a woman is 55 years old, if she has not yet had menopause and her body maintains a certain level of hormones for a long time, she should undergo regular gynecological ultrasound examination, breast ultrasound or molybdenum target examination to exclude endometrial disease, breast disease, and so on.
2. Ovarian secretory tumor: some ovarian secretory tumors, such as ovarian granulosa cell tumor, follicular membrane cell tumor, etc., will secrete estrogen to support the growth of uterine lining, which will lead to late menopause. It can be treated by surgical removal of the tumor or removal of the adnexa.
3. Endometrial cancer: In endometrial cancer, the tumor will invade the blood vessels of the endometrium and cause blood vessels to rupture and bleed, or the tissue of the tumor body will be detached and necrotic, resulting in vaginal bleeding and delayed menopause. Total hysterectomy can be performed via abdominal or laparoscopic operation, after which chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and other therapeutic measures can be adopted according to the patient’s condition.
If a woman is not menopausal at the age of 55, it is important to identify the cause and take targeted measures to avoid delaying the disease.
