Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which is very uncomfortable. I also tend to get angry easily. Can menopausal syndrome be treated early and effectively?Doctor's answer:
Menopause generally occurs again in women aged 45-55. During menopause, women may experience a series of physical symptoms such as irregular menstruation, hot flashes, excessive sweating, palpitations, frequent urination, incontinence, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, poor sleep, osteoporosis, and weight gain. Along with physical changes, women may also experience psychological discomforts such as emotional instability, memory decline, suspicion, overthinking, and depression. Menopause can easily lead to endometrial cancer, which may result in irregular vaginal bleeding, especially prolonged irregular spotting and postmenopausal bleeding. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be considered for specific syndrome differentiation and treatment, which has shown good efficacy. Xiaoyao Pills and Gamma-Oryzanol can be helpful. It is also recommended to consume more soybeans, honey, and royal jelly. Additionally, homemade soy milk is the most effective.
