Patient's question:
I don't know how, but for the past two weeks, I've been experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath. In the afternoon, I feel very irritable and hot. My sleep isn't great either, and I lack energy. After a check-up, they said it's menopause. Could you please ask: How is menopausal syndrome generally treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Menopause is a special period where the ovaries gradually shrink and estrogen production also gradually increases, such as: flushing, excessive thirst, upper body heat, irregular menstruation, rising blood pressure, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anxiety, irritability, neurasthenia, dizziness, headache, palpitations, decreased libido, etc. To alleviate menopausal symptoms, one can generally consider eating more soy products rich in isoflavones. Severe cases may adopt hormone or traditional Chinese herbal medicine for regulation. Menopause is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
