Patient's question:
I am 46 years old, female, and it's recently possible that I am going through menopause. During my afternoon naps, I always experience the symptoms of neurasthenia and hot flashes again. How can women with menopause deal with insomnia?Doctor's answer:
Based on your mother's age, it falls under the category of early menopause in women. Normally, menopause is considered normal only when it occurs around the age of 49. Since the first sign of menopause is menopause itself, it can lead to a disruption in the secretion of estrogen and testosterone in the body, resulting in symptoms such as irritability and difficulty falling asleep. It is recommended to have her take some symptomatic medication and avoid spicy foods.
