Patient's question:
Where to treat menopausal syndrome? Recently, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which is very uncomfortable. I also tend to get angry easily. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome is a series of symptoms caused by the rise in estrogen levels. In women going through menopause, the decline in ovarian function and the tension of pituitary function lead to the excretion of excessive gonadotropins, resulting in dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system, which in turn causes a series of symptoms of varying severity. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that menopausal syndrome is caused by insufficient kidney qi, the decline of Tian Gui, leading to endocrine imbalance and the disruption of yin-yang balance. Therefore, in treatment, the primary methods focus on replenishing kidney qi and readjusting the yin-yang balance. Western medicine can use neurotrophic drugs, such as flupentixol and mirtazapine tablets, to stabilize the nervous system. Hormone replacement therapy can also play a significant role and may be adopted.
