Patient's question:
Menopausal Syndrome, How to Treat It?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome is a series of symptoms caused by a decline in estrogen levels. Due to the decline in ovarian function, the pituitary gland becomes hyperactive, leading to the excretion of excessive gonadotropins, which disrupts the autonomic nervous system, resulting in a range of varying symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, hot flashes, palpitations, neurasthenia, fatigue, depression, excessive worry, emotional instability, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. These are collectively referred to as "menopausal syndrome." The majority of women experience a gradual decline in ovarian function, and the body's self-adjustment and compensation are sufficient to restore this fluctuation, or they may only have mild symptoms. Menopausal women should also consume enough foods rich in vitamin B, such as whole grains like oats, corn, and leafy vegetables like spinach, which are all rich in B vitamins.
