Hello, Menstruation is a normal physiological process experienced by all women. It primarily occurs as the body eliminates metabolic waste products and as the uterine lining undergoes continuous renewal. This natural cycle results in menstrual bleeding. During menstruation, women are in a relatively vulnerable physical state. Prolonged absence of menstruation may indicate menopause, signaling age-related physiological changes and decline in ovarian function. We recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include hormonal therapy to regulate the menstrual cycle or, in certain cases, surgical intervention. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health and happiness!
