Can periods just stop at 49?

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.

  1. Menopause Timing:

    • Stopping periods around age 49 is common and often indicates the onset of menopause.
    • Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55.
  2. Symptoms:

    • You may experience hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, or sleep disturbances.
  3. Health Monitoring:

    • Regular health check-ups are important to manage symptoms and monitor bone and heart health.

If periods stop suddenly or unusual symptoms occur, consult a healthcare provider to rule out other causes. Stopping periods at this age is a natural part of aging for women.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and recently my blood pressure was at 10060. My local doctor prescribed me Nicardia Retard 10mg, and I took it every morning for about 18 days. After that, I started experiencing some issues like heart palpitations, more sweating, and even fainting, so I decided to stop taking it. I'm really worried now. Could these side effects have any impact on my baby, both while I'm still pregnant and after the birth?

Yes stop taking thta medcine and visit your doctor for appropriate management

I'm really worried because there's minimal free fluid in my pelvis, and I've been having severe stomach pain. I was admitted to a nearby hospital, and the MD observed me, but my condition hasn't improved. Can anyone suggest what the underlying issue might be, or if there's a specific direction we should explore for better treatment?

Hydrocele can be uncomfortable. Since you're not experiencing pain, you can try the following non-surgical methods to reduce the size: 1. *Elevation*: Elevate your scrotum while sitting or lying down to reduce swelling. 2. *Supportive underwear*: Wear supportive, loose-fitting underwear to reduce pressure. 3. *Exercise*: Regular exercise, like cycling or swimming, can help improve circulation and reduce swelling. 4. *Dietary changes*: Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to improve overall health. If these methods don't help, consider consulting a urologist for surgical options, such as hydrocelectomy.
