Can periods just stop at 49?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in India.

I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance. I was diagnosed with a cyst in my right ovary and was prescribed Regestrone for five days, which brought on my period. The doctor also advised me to start taking Diane 35 on the fourth day, which I've been taking regularly. I've only two more tablets left from my pack. I did have unprotected sex during the first week of starting the pill, but there was no ejaculation inside. Should I be concerned about the possibility of pregnancy?
The chances of pregnancy are slim. You shouldn't worry about it since you said there was no ejaculation inside. Kindly wait for your periods or consult a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.

My sister-in-law is 38 with three kids and has been having lower abdominal pain for the past year. She just found out she has fibroids in her uterus and might need surgery to remove her uterus. Are there any medications that can shrink the fibroids so she can avoid surgery?
Yes, there are medications that can potentially shrink fibroids and may help avoid hysterectomy, but it's crucial for her to discuss all options with her doctor. Medications like gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHAs) can reduce fibroid size and potentially make surgery less invasive.
