Effect of determining the age of menopause on the nature of uterine blood secretions during this period; Medical jurisprudence analysis

 Menopause, as a natural process in every woman's life, is often accompanied by symptoms that disrupt mental peace and cause confusion in fulfilling religious duties. Irregular and unusual bleeding is one of the most obvious features of the onset of menopause until its full realization. Recognizing the nature of these secretions has been the subject of jurisprudential analysis and the lack of an explicit expression in religious texts has provided an opportunity for jurisprudential interpretation and debate. In this research, while comparing the achievements of jurisprudence and medicine, the differences of opinions of jurists regarding the realization and determination of menopause age and the effect of these differences on the nature of uterine blood secretions are discussed.

 The data was collected by descriptive-analytical method and by referring to library sources, and the opinion of jurists and doctors on the nature of uterine blood secretions during and after menopause was qualitatively analyzed.

 The result is to accept the certainty of menopause occurrence, but it doesn’t consider a specific and fixed age for its onset. Therefore, physicians’ diagnosis and opinion plays a determining role. Considering the effect of disagreements on the nature of uterine blood secretions during and after menopause, it is better to consider the secretions of this period as menstruation if it agrees with the person's habit and with the characteristics of menstrual secretions. But with the realization of menopause, abnormal blood discharge is considered Istihazeh.
