Patient's question:
My mother is currently going through menopause. She often sweats and has poor sleep. I suggest she go to the hospital. She always says it's not an illness. She refuses to go. She wants to find a good method to help stabilize her symptoms. What should I do about sweating during menopause?Doctor's answer:
Hot flashes and sweating not only embarrass women during menopause but can also cause physical discomfort due to sudden changes in body temperature. Menopausal women should pay attention to wearing appropriate amounts of clothing, opting for multiple layers to easily adjust for hot flashes. In daily life, menopausal women should focus on moderate exercise to strengthen the body, enhance immunity, improve adaptability to temperature changes, and conserve energy, which can help reduce the interference of hot flashes to some extent. At the same time, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, such as consuming more soy products to digest plant estrogens and alleviate hot flash symptoms. For severe cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and actively treat under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is important to maintain a normal lifestyle, adhere to physical exercise, consume less animal fat, eat more vegetables and water, avoid excessive consumption, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
