Patient's question:
I am 45 years old, female, and recently it might be menopause. During my afternoon nap, I always experience the symptoms of neurasthenia and hot flashes again. What are the symptoms of menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome generally refers to the beginning of the rise in ovarian endocrine function. After puberty, our ovaries experience monthly menopause, with estrogen being excreted monthly. Through these excretions by the ovaries, it recovers the age of fertility. Then, during perimenopause, that is, usually after the age of 40, ovarian function begins to decline, and at this time, patients may experience some discomfort. The most common symptoms that everyone is often aware of primarily include easy sweating, hot flashes, irritability, anxiety, and restlessness. Additionally, locally, she may sometimes experience increased secretions. As she gradually enters perimenopause, her breasts may also become (loose), her skin may start to dry out, vaginal secretions may increase, and there may be little lubrication during sexual activity. All of these are many manifestations of perimenopause.
