Patient's question:
I don't know how, 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. I'm asking: What treatments for menopausal syndrome can be trusted?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome, from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is primarily caused by factors such as phlegm-heat disturbing the heart, insufficient qi and blood, and excessive heart fire, leading to the malnourishment of the mind and spirit. It often accompanies symptoms like irritability, excessive sweating, emotional tension, and neurosis. For this condition, it is advisable to consult a professional TCM practitioner for specific syndrome differentiation and treatment to nourish the mind and spirit. In daily life, it is important to maintain a calm mood, engage in frequent communication with others, and avoid overexertion. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and I hope you can evaluate my response. Thank you!Menopause is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change their underwear frequently. Finally, wishing female patients a quick recovery!
