Suggest Treatment For Absence Of Periods
Question: Hello! My name XXXXXXX I am 43 years old. Please I want to know how to restore my menstruation. I had my last period on 30th of September it was very heavy and lasted for more than 7 days. This month I haven't seen it but having some watery discharge. Does it mean I'm in menopause?
Brief Answer:
tests advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, yes this can be an early indication of menopause.
Wait for your periods and on day 2 of periods get these blood tests done viz FSH, AMH, TSH and prolactin.
It will tell you your hormone status and further management.
As it is if you have completed your family there is nothing to worry.
Just take calcium tablets daily and in case you have heavy flow take tablet tranexemic acid 500 mg thrice a day for 3 days and you will be fine.
Do this for 3 months but in XXXXXXX not relieved then get an ultrasound done to see for endometrial thickness.
Take care.
