Patient's question:
Mom's mental state hasn't been very good recently. She always feels sad, anxious, and suspicious, and her memory has also declined. She often gets angry too. Is this menopause? I'd like to ask, how is menopausal syndrome checked?Doctor's answer:
Hello, to alleviate menopausal symptoms, you should pay attention to the following aspects: Always maintain an optimistic and pleasant mood. Actively engage in life and work, and keep a good attitude. A positive mood can reduce and harmonize the excitability of the cerebral cortex and the nervous system, fully utilize the body's potential, make you feel energetic and vibrant, increase appetite, ensure deep and sound sleep, and fill life with vitality. Pay attention to dietary nutrition. For those with menopausal symptoms such as dizziness, neurasthenia, and emotional instability, it is recommended to consume foods rich in B vitamins, such as coarse grains (millet, oatmeal), beans, and lean meat, as well as milk. The tryptophan in milk has a calming and sleep-inducing effect; leafy greens and fruits are rich in B vitamins. These foods play a role in maintaining the function of the nervous system and improving absorption.
