Patient's question:
I don't know why, for the past two weeks, I've been experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath. In the afternoons, I feel very irritable and hot. My sleep isn't great either, and I lack energy. After getting checked, they said it's menopause. Could you please tell me: what tests are needed for menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Menopause is a special period, a series of symptoms caused by the rise in estrogen levels in the body, typically occurring between the ages of 40 and 50. During this time, ovarian function gradually declines, and estrogen production also decreases day by day. To alleviate menopausal symptoms, it is generally recommended to consume more soy products rich in isoflavones. For severe cases, hormone therapy or traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be used for regulation. The recurrence of menopause severely harms women's health, and patients need to pay attention to post-menstrual follow-up checks, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
