Patient's question:
I am 55 years old and used to be a very calm person, but recently I can't control my temper and always argue with my family. I see nothing in a good light, and I'm also experiencing a dry spell. What is the reason for a dry spell in women going through menopause?Doctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, women's menopause generally occurs around the age of 50. As a woman's ovarian function declines and she no longer ovulates, a series of menopausal symptoms may manifest, such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, reduced vaginal discharge, and the beginning of atrophy in the reproductive organs, as well as dryness during intercourse. It is likely due to abnormal hormone secretion, medication factors, or a lack of vitamins. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis. Pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life.
