Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which is very uncomfortable. I also tend to get angry easily. What should I do properly if I have menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Menopause is a special period, during which the function of the ovaries gradually declines and the production of estrogen decreases day by day. This triggers various physical changes and uncomfortable symptoms in women, such as: flushing, excessive thirst, upper body heat, irregular menstruation, rising blood pressure, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anxiety, irritability, neurasthenia, dizziness, lightheadedness, palpitations, and decreased libido, among others. To alleviate menopausal symptoms, it is generally recommended to consume more soy products rich in isoflavones. For severe cases, hormone therapy or traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be used for regulation. Menopause is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
