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 irritable and hot. My sleep isn't great either, and I lack energy. After getting checked, they said it's menopause. Please ask: How can menopausal syndrome be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of menopause, if only treated with medication, are difficult to achieve lasting effects. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately adjust lifestyle, enhance physical exercise, engage in sports activities, improve physical quality, regulate diet, quit smoking and drinking, adhere to a regular schedule, restrain sexual activity, and always maintain a cheerful mood, avoid overexertion, and reduce worries. It can also be achieved by immersing oneself in nature, painting, and other activities to cultivate one's character and refresh the body and mind.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the symptoms of menopause are primarily caused by the imbalance of kidney yin and yang endocrine and the dysfunction of internal organs. The treatment should focus on balancing yin and yang and nourishing the internal organs.
