Patient's question:
I'm really struggling, lately I've been lacking energy, making frequent mistakes at work, and constantly arguing with my family. Is this menopause? Could you please tell me: What are the daily care measures for women experiencing menopausal symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Women after entering menopause, due to the continuous increase of gonadotropin secretion and dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system, may exhibit a series of symptoms ranging from mild to severe, such as menstrual disorders, paroxysmal hot flashes, flushing, sweating, neurasthenia, dizziness, pain, irritability, anger, or depression and suspicion. Severe cases can cause great distress to the individual, and families and society feel the changes in the patient's emotions and behavior, disrupting interpersonal relationships and normal life. These symptoms are collectively referred to as menopausal syndrome. Menopause is a starting point where people show relatively obvious signs of aging in both physical and psychological aspects, and it is a period of significant physical and psychological changes in a person's life. Therefore, in addition to necessary hormone therapy and psychological therapy, attention should also be paid to daily nutrition and diet. Dietary treatment should be based on nourishing the heart and spleen, tonifying the kidneys, and moisturizing dryness.
