Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which is very uncomfortable. I also tend to get angry easily. Where is it best to seek treatment for menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome is a series of symptoms caused by the rise in estrogen levels. Due to the decline in ovarian function and increased tension in pituitary function, menopausal women excrete excessive gonadotropins, leading to dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system, which in turn results in 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 disruption of the balance between yin and yang. Therefore, during treatment, the primary methods focus on replenishing kidney qi and readjusting the balance of yin and yang. Western medicine can utilize neurotrophic drugs and neuro-stabilizing medications, such as Flupentixol and Mirtazapine tablets, among others. Hormone replacement therapy can also be highly effective and may be considered. Wishing you the best of luck.
