Patient's question:
I'm really struggling. Lately, I've been lacking energy and making frequent mistakes at work. I also often argue with my family. Is this menopause? Please ask: How can menopausal symptoms be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome is a series of symptoms caused by the rise in estrogen levels. Due to the decline in ovarian function and increased tension in pituitary function, menopausal women excrete excessive gonadotropins, leading to disturbances in the autonomic nervous system, which results in a series of varying symptoms such as menstrual changes, flushing, palpitations, neurasthenia, fatigue, depression, excessive worry, emotional instability, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, collectively referred to as "menopausal syndrome." The majority of women experience a gradual decline in ovarian function, and the body's self-adjustment and compensation are sufficient to restore this change, or they may only have mild symptoms.
