Is there leukorrhea after menopause?

After menopause, the amount of vaginal discharge will significantly decrease, but a small amount of discharge may still be present, which is a normal phenomenon. Due to the significant reduction or disappearance of estrogen secretion after menopause, the secretions from the vagina and cervix will significantly decrease, thus reducing vaginal discharge. However, if there is an increase in discharge, a change to a yellow color, and itching of the vulva, it could be due to vaginitis, which requires prompt medical examination and treatment since vaginitis is relatively common in the elderly.

Is it normal for a 42-year-old to have menopause?

Menopause at age 42 is abnormal, as the menopause age for most women in our country is between 45 and 55 years old. The age at menopause is mainly related to genetics, nutritional status, climate, immune function, and other factors. Menopause at 42 suggests that ovarian function has already declined, and women often experience symptoms such as low mood, poor sleep quality, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases. For this situation, it is recommended that women visit a reputable hospital for a diagnosis as soon as possible. A typical examination includes the sex hormone panel to check for ovarian function decline. If there is indeed a decline in ovarian function, hormone medications can be used under a doctor’s guidance to enhance resistance. It is crucial to avoid staying up late and maintain a good mood.

How to treat amenorrhea infertility?

Amenorrhea-induced infertility first requires identifying the underlying cause of the amenorrhea. If it is due to intrauterine adhesions, a hysteroscopic adhesion lysis can be performed. After surgery, promoting the development of the endometrium can normalize uterine lining growth and serve a therapeutic function. If the amenorrhea is caused by ovarian secretory dysfunction, adjusting ovarian function can help, as conditions like amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome are caused by amenorrhea and lead to infertility, in which case hormonal regulation can treat infertility. Amenorrhea caused by premature ovarian failure can pose significant treatment challenges if the deterioration is severe. Thus, determining the specific cause of amenorrhea is essential for targeted treatment.

How should amenorrhea be managed?

Menopause occurring after the age of 40 is a normal physiological phenomenon. If menopause occurs before the age of 40, it indicates premature ovarian failure. Women with premature ovarian failure will exhibit symptoms of menopause and also experience accelerated aging. At this stage, if there are no contraindications to medication, hormone replacement therapy can be used. Hormone replacement therapy is also applicable if menopause occurs after the age of 40. For those over 40 who still wish to menstruate, sequential estrogen-progestogen therapy can be applied. If menstruation is not desired, estrogen supplementation therapy can be used.
