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 therapy, and follow-up examinations should be performed periodically. The Western medicines commonly used for hormone therapy include tibolone and norethisterone. Menopause is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur, and during the treatment period, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
