Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How should I treat menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menopausal syndrome is primarily caused by factors such as phlegm-heat disturbing the heart, insufficient qi and blood, and excessive heart fire, leading to the malnutrition of the mind. It often accompanies symptoms like irritability, excessive sweating, emotional tension, and neurosis. For this condition, it is advisable to consult a professional TCM practitioner for specific syndrome differentiation and treatment to maintain health.In daily life, it is important to pay attention to maintaining a calm mood, engaging in frequent communication with others, and avoiding overexertion. Menopause is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
