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 agitated and hot. My sleep isn't great either, and I lack energy. After a check-up, they said it's menopause. Could you please tell me: What foods are recommended for women with menopausal symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Menopause also manifests in mental and neurological symptoms, such as irritability, insomnia, headaches, memory loss, and unstable cardiovascular function. It is important to consume more foods that stabilize the nervous system and cardiovascular health, such as: sheep heart, pig heart, Chinese yam, jujubes, longans, mulberries, Fu Ling cakes, ginseng and jujube rice, and walnut porridge. Additionally, it is advisable to drink less alcohol and smoke less, as alcohol and nicotine can have adverse effects on the central nervous system.Menopause is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change their underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
