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. I'm asking: How can the symptoms of menopausal syndrome be treated to alleviate them effectively?Doctor's answer:
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, menopausal syndrome is primarily caused by factors such as phlegm-heat disturbing the heart, insufficient qi and blood, and excessive heart fire, leading to the malnourishment of the mind and spirit. It often accompanies symptoms like irritability, excessive sweating, emotional tension, and neurosis. For this condition, it is advisable to consult a professional TCM practitioner for specific syndrome differentiation and treatment to nourish the mind and spirit. In daily life, it is important to maintain a calm mood, communicate more with others, and avoid overexertion.Menopause is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
