Patient's question:
What are the treatments for menopausal syndrome? 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:
Hello, the treatment of menopausal syndrome with Western medicine primarily involves hormone therapy. Yes, it has been recently discovered that the increasing incidence of breast cancer may be related to the use of hormone therapy. Therefore, routine breast and gynecological examinations should be conducted before and after hormone treatment, and follow-up examinations should be performed periodically. The Western medicines commonly used for hormone therapy include tibolone and norethisterone. For menopausal patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
