Re: MENOPAUSE: No period for 6 months, serum FSH level 31 last month From: Professor Galal Lotfi (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:48:43 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Professor Galal Lotfi: "Re: CONTRACEPTION: difference between tubal ligation and Essure" Previous message: Pandora: "Re: ONCOLOGY: Ongoing history of abnormal Paps, LEEPS x3, HGSIL x3" In reply to: Cara: "MENOPAUSE: No period for 6 months, serum FSH level 31 last month" With FSH 31, this means you are getting into menopause and that is physiologial and normal at that age. There is no point to take medications to get an artificial period. There are different openions regarding giving hormones or not, you need to be counselled with your gynecologist to consider your symptoms, family history and physical examination. Regarding the age 51, personally I dont recommend hormonal replacement unless it is necessary and for a short period because of its impact on the breast. However, physical excercise and calcium intake might be all that is needed.
