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 41 with regular periods but sometimes get spotting around day 10 or 11. All my blood tests thyroid, prolactin, vitamin B12, CBC are normal, though my HbA1c is 6.1 and I have mild cholesterol. An ultrasound showed polyps, and compared to a scan two years ago, they've grown by 0.9 in size. Do they need to be removed? I'm not sexually active and have a 5-year-old daughter. Could these polyps keep growing, and is surgery necessary? Can I just monitor them for changes? What's the chance they could turn cancerous

gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her C-section is scheduled for this week, but she suddenly caught a cold and cough because of the rainy season. Can you recommend a safe cough syrup for the last trimester that won't harm the baby? Also, if her cough doesn't clear up before the surgery, could it delay the delivery date?

For cold in 9-month pregnant woman, use syrup like Benadryl or Grilinctus BM after OB consult—mild cold won't usually delay C-section unless fever or breathing issues occur.
