Patient's question:
How to Treat Menopausal SyndromeRecently, 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:
Dietary nutrition is important for individuals experiencing menopause-related symptoms such as dizziness, nervous weakness, and emotional instability. It is essential to include foods rich in B vitamins, such as coarse grains (millet, oatmeal), legumes, and lean meat. The tryptophan found in cow's milk has a calming effect and promotes sleep. Leafy greens and fruits are also rich in B vitamins. These foods help maintain the function of the nervous system and improve absorption. Additionally, it is advisable to reduce salt intake (preferably doubling the usual amount) and avoid foods such as alcohol, coffee, strong tea, and pepper. Menopause is a gynecological condition that is prone to occurring during this period. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genital hygiene, change underwear frequently, and wish female patients a speedy recovery!
