Differential diagnosis

Menopausal transition period and postmenopausal amenorrhea: On June 14, 1994, in Geneva, the work conference on the progress of menopause research in the 1990s was proposed to propose abandon menopause and recommend a peri-menopausal and menopausal transition period. Its provisions are as follows:

1 pre-menopausal period: refers to the period of ovarian activity, including puberty to menopause.

2 Menopausal: refers to the last menstrual period in a woman's life, often to review and determine.

3 Postmenopausal period: refers to the whole period of menopause until the end of life.

4 Menopausal transitional period: refers to a period of premenopausal period, that is, a transitional period from reproductive age to menopause, including the beginning of the trend of menopause in clinical or blood hormone levels (ie, ovarian function begins to decline) Signs) until the last menstrual period.

Peri-menopausal period: refers to a period of time before and after menopause, including signs of menopausal tendency from the clinical or blood hormone levels (ie, signs of ovarian function begins to decline), has continued until the last menstrual period The next year is the menopausal transition period plus one year after menopause.

Postmenopausal bleeding: Postmenopausal bleeding is not a disease, but a clinical symptom.

As people's lives continue to improve, women's life expectancy is gradually extended, one-third of life is spent after menopause, a series of geriatric diseases are coming one after another, and postmenopausal bleeding is one of the most common symptoms. Postmenopausal bleeding refers to vaginal bleeding after 1 year of menstruation, mainly refers to the symptoms caused by non-organic, benign and malignant lesions of the internal genitalia. Patients with postmenopausal bleeding should seek the cause. With the development of medical science and the popularization of medical knowledge, people are more alert to postmenopausal bleeding, and the proportion of postmenopausal bleeding caused by malignant lesions is gradually reduced, less than 10% reported abroad. Mainly due to non-organic lesions, followed by benign lesions. There are different reports in China, about 20% to 50%.
