No period means menopause? Wrong. No period does not necessarily mean menopause. Menopause is a permanent state of amenorrhea caused by ovarian function failure; the key point is the failure of ovarian function. Ovarian function mainly consists of two parts: one is producing and releasing oocytes, and the other is secreting sex hormones.

No period does not mean both of these functions are lost. Some people may no longer have periods, but when their sex hormone levels are tested and found to be within the normal range, it cannot be said that they have entered menopause.

This method of determining menopause may not mean much to the average person, but it is a crucial clinical indicator, especially in the treatment of gynecological tumors, where it serves as a guideline for medication.
