Patient's question:
My mom is 45 years old this year and is experiencing menopausal symptoms. She gets easily agitated and cries easily. I would like to consult about what medication to use, such as estrogen, or how to alleviate menopausal symptoms.Doctor's answer:
Women entering menopause may appropriately adjust hormone therapy. Medical guidelines clearly state that it is preferable to use natural or naturally-derived hormones such as estradiol valerate tablets, dydrogesterone, and other medications. These drugs are prescription medications and should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Not every woman is suitable for hormone therapy, and it should only be considered for those with severe symptoms. Hormone therapy can be taken until the age of 60, helping patients smoothly transition through menopause. However, during medication, it is important to undergo regular health check-ups.
