Brief Answer:
perimenopausal symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Infrequent periods are common at this age as she is in her perimenopausal stage of life.
But still I would like to know certain things -
-her flow during periods
- interval between two periods
- any bleeding during intercourse
- any mood swings or hot flushes along with this.
In the meanwhile she should
- drink a lot of water
- avoid hot and humid climates
- less intake of caffeine
- eat lots of salads and fruits
-include nuts especially walnuts in your daily diet - - and increase intake of soy proteins.
Take care. In case you have other questions you can contact me on health care magic.

Brief Answer:
RELATED TO MENOPAUSE, INCREASE CALCIUM INTAKE

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, this is also a part of perimenopausal symptoms only.
The pain in joints is usually mild and occurs off and on and specially more in late hours of the day when overall body is also tired.
This is due to calcium deficiency and taking extra calcium in the form of tablets and milk will help to a great extent.
But in case pain in knee persists whole day and it becomes very tender to touch then immediately visit an orthopedician for examination.
Wish you all the best.
