Patient's question:
Mom's mental state hasn't been very good recently. She often feels depressed, anxious, and suspicious, and her memory has also declined. She also gets angry easily. Is this due to menopause? I'd like to ask, what are the reasons why menopausal syndrome is difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, I can infer that menopausal syndrome is a physiological disease that can affect both men and women. It is generally more typical in women around the time of menopause, while it tends to occur later in men. It is only related to endocrine hormones. It is recommended to first have a correct understanding, engage in more activity, and take necessary oral medications for symptomatic relief. You can also go to the hospital's traditional Chinese medicine department for follow-up treatment. For menopausal patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care at work, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
