Patient's question:
I'm really feeling troubled. Lately, I've been lacking energy and making frequent mistakes at work. I also often argue with my family. Is this menopause? Could you please tell me: what are the routine tests for menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Menopause generally reappears in women aged 45-55. Symptoms include facial flushing, unexplained warmth, chest tightness, palpitations, headaches, dizziness, irritability, nervousness, lightheadedness, fatigue, memory loss, abnormal sensations, decreased libido, menstrual irregularities, etc. It is generally recommended to consume more soy products rich in isoflavones. Oral medications such as Menopause Comfort, Xiao Yao Wan, and oryzanol can be considered. Severe cases may require hormone therapy or traditional Chinese herbal medicine for regulation. For women experiencing menopause, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to prioritize self-care, such as paying attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
