Patient's question:
What are the clinical manifestations of menopausal syndrome? Do all women experience menopausal syndrome when they reach a certain age? What causes menopausal syndrome? Can it be regulated and stabilized?Doctor's answer:
Menopause refers to the period when women transition from their reproductive years to old age, during which the function of the ovaries gradually declines. Menopause is an important marker. During this phase, due to an increase in the secretion of sex hormones, symptoms based on autonomic nervous system dysfunction reappear, known as menopausal syndrome. The diagnosis is based on symptoms such as irregular or absent menstruation, hot flashes, sweating, palpitations, irritability, neurosis, or depression. Treatment varies: mild cases can be managed with health measures, while more severe symptoms may require estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy. These symptoms can be effectively alleviated through extremely small doses of digestive conjugated estrogens or by increasing resistance through exercise. Of course, there are many contraindications for digestive estrogens, and they should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
