Patient's question:
What should I do if menopausal symptoms occur prematurely? Recently, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which makes me 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. Due to the decline in ovarian function, the pituitary gland becomes hyperactive, leading to the excretion of excessive gonadotropins, which disrupts 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."Most 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 the endocrine system, leading to endocrine disorders.
