Patient's question:
I'm really troubled. Lately, I've been lacking energy and making frequent mistakes at work. I also often argue with my family. Is this menopause? Which hospital is best for treating menopausal symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello, menopause refers to the period when women transition from their reproductive years to old age, characterized by the gradual decline in ovarian function. It begins at the age of 40 and lasts for 10-20 years, with menopause being a significant marker. Reappearance of symptoms may include menstrual irregularities, headaches, dizziness, irritability, and neuroticism, among other autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. It is a physiological phenomenon, not a disease. Adjust yourself, go out for a stroll if you're feeling down. If it's not severe, there's no need to go to the hospital. You can consult a gynecologist. Recognize that menopause is a physiological phenomenon, not a disease. Those with poor sleep can use sedative medications to aid sleep. Communicate more with others. Individuals with significant symptoms may consider estrogen therapy, but use it cautiously due to its potential side effects.
