Does menopause affect blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask if menopause can cause blood pressure to drop. How should this be treated? Can I take some menopause medication for this? Can this be taken together with blood pressure medication? How long does menopause usually last before it subsides? Haha, thank you everyone!

Doctor's answer:

The condition of hypertension is complex, with a high incidence rate, a long course of illness, and numerous complications. Early prevention leads to a better prognosis. Hypertension is classified into primary and secondary types. The causes of the condition include congenital elongation and complete torsion of the carotid arteries, developmental abnormalities of the basilar arteries, and long-term high blood pressure in the systemic circulation, which constitute the primary form of hypertension. The recurrence during menopause poses a serious threat to women's health, and patients should avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
