Patient's question:
What should I do if menopausal symptoms occur prematurely? Recently, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which is very uncomfortable. I also tend to get angry easily. How can I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome is a series of symptoms caused by the rise in estrogen levels. In women during menopause, due to the decline in ovarian function and increased tension in pituitary function, excessive gonadotropin is excreted, leading to dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system. This results in a series of varying symptoms, such as menstrual changes, flushing, palpitations, neurasthenia, fatigue, depression, excessive worry, emotional instability, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. It is referred to as "menopausal syndrome." The majority of women experience a gradual decline in ovarian function, and the body's self-adjustment and compensation are sufficient to restore this fluctuation, or only mild symptoms may occur. Doctors believe that menopausal syndrome is caused by insufficient kidney qi, the decline of Tian Gui, and the resulting imbalance in endocrine and Yin-Yang harmony.
