Patient's question:
During this period, my body has been particularly uncomfortable. I don't know if it's because of getting older, or if it's here and there. Sometimes my legs feel uncomfortable, and when I take a nap, I always sweat. What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in women going through menopause?Doctor's answer:
If women in menopause lack calcium, most people may experience severe leg pain or excessive thirst again, while a few may have joint pain or other discomforts. It's best to check with a doctor. If calcium deficiency is confirmed, you can also take calcium supplements.Irregular menstruation, hot flashes, night sweats, flushed face, irritability, dizziness, tinnitus, heart palpitations, neurasthenia, lower back and waist pain, facial and limb edema, crawling skin sensation, and emotional instability are symptoms that may occur. Generally, menopausal women may experience some or all of these symptoms.
Due to the nature of women being more yang and less yin, treatment focuses on replenishing lung qi, nourishing kidney essence, benefiting yin, consolidating, and regulating qi. This helps balance yin and yang on a new basis, thereby completely eliminating or alleviating the patient's symptoms.
