Patient's question:
I used to be a very calm person, but recently I can't control my temper and often argue with my family. I seem to find fault with everything. What's going on with me? Please ask: How is menopausal syndrome generally treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Menopause is a special period, during which the function of the ovaries gradually declines, and the production of estrogen also increases. Symptoms may include flushing, excessive thirst, heat in the upper body, irregular menstruation, elevated blood pressure, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anxiety, irritability, neurasthenia, dizziness, lightheadedness, palpitations, and decreased libido. To alleviate menopausal symptoms, one can generally consider consuming more soy products rich in isoflavones. For severe cases, hormone therapy or traditional Chinese herbal medicine may be used for regulation. For menopausal patients, in addition to proper medical treatment, it is also essential to prioritize self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
