Patient's question:
My wife is already 48 years old this year and has entered the menopausal stage. She often gets angry and is particularly irritable. Sometimes, if the child just says one more word, she wants to hit the child. My colleague said that when his wife was in menopause, she was relieved by digesting estrogen. I want to understand what are the taboos of digesting estrogen during menopause?Doctor's answer:
Relieve menopausal symptoms, it's best to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for follow-up treatment. Taking Chinese herbal medicine for nourishment is quite effective. Don't take estrogen orally at random to stabilize menopausal symptoms, because excessive estrogen can lead to some complications. For example, conditions like hyperplasia of the breast lobules, uterine fibroids, and in some cases, even breast cancer. The key to managing menopausal symptoms is to regulate your diet in daily life. Eat more soy-based foods, as they contain more estrogen.
