Her sleep is not very good either, and she lacks energy. After examination, it was said that she is experiencing menopause. Please ask: What should be done if menopause occurs prematurely at the age of 38?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 38, I experienced obvious menopausal symptoms. It is recommended to undergo a thorough check-up of the six sex hormone tests. If the test results indicate elevated sex hormone levels, it can be diagnosed as menopausal syndrome, which is also considered premature ovarian failure. If menopausal syndrome occurs prematurely, medication can be taken for treatment. It is important to relax and maintain a regular lifestyle. We should pay attention to the rationality of dietary structure. Eat more coarse grains, fruits, and vegetables. Be cautious about drinking milk and consuming soy products. Additionally, a certain amount of physical activity should be done daily.
