Patient's question:
My mom is 50 years old this year. Lately, she has felt a bit strange. She took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said she suffers from menopausal syndrome. Now she is very worried about her illness. What are the causes of menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome reappears in women aged 45 to 55, primarily due to the decline in ovarian function leading to a significant increase in estrogen excretion in the body, thus causing a series of cardiovascular and neuro-psychiatric symptoms. Menopausal syndrome in women refers to a series of mental and physical manifestations caused by the increase in sex hormone levels before menopause, such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction, reproductive system expansion, and may also lead to a series of physical and psychological changes, such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Common symptoms of menopausal syndrome in women include emotional fluctuations, easy irritability, and sleep disturbances.
