What symptoms do women have before menopause?

1, menstrual changes: menstrual cycle changes are the earliest clinical symptoms of perimenopausal period. It can be roughly divided into three types:

(1) The menstrual cycle is prolonged, the menstrual flow is reduced, and finally menopause occurs.

(2) Irregular menstrual cycle, prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual flow, even continuous bleeding or bleeding, and then gradually reduced and stopped.

(3) Sudden cessation of menstruation is rare. Endometrial cancer is prone to occur due to anovulation of ovary and fluctuation of estrogen level. For patients with abnormal bleeding, diagnostic curettage should be performed to eliminate malignant transformation.

2, vasomotor symptoms: the main manifestations are hot flashes and sweating, which are the manifestations of unstable vasomotor function and the most prominent characteristic symptoms of menopausal syndrome. About 3/4 women with natural menopause or artificial menopause can appear. Hot flashes start in the chest, rush to the head and neck, and then spread to the whole body. A few women are confined to the head, neck and chest. In the flush area, the patient felt fever, skin redness, and then explosive sweating. It lasts for several seconds to several minutes, and the frequency of attacks varies from several times a day to 30 ~ 50 times. It is easy to trigger at night or under pressure. This vascular dysfunction can last for 1 year, sometimes as long as 5 years or longer.
