Patient's question:
I don't know why, 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 a check-up, they said it's menopause. Could you please tell me: How can the treatment for menopausal syndrome be most effective?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, participate in sports activities, improve physical fitness, regulate diet, quit smoking and drinking, follow a regular schedule, control sexual activity, 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 the mind and body, bringing joy and relaxation.Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the symptoms of menopause are primarily caused by an imbalance in the endocrine system of the kidneys' yin and yang, as well as the dysfunction of internal organs. The treatment should focus on balancing yin and yang and nurturing the internal organs as the foundation.
