Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 40 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling irritable and restless. I feel very stifled and just want to get angry. I feel very hot and have poor sleep at night, with frequent dreams and a tendency to be easily thirsty. I wonder if I am experiencing early menopause. What are the symptoms of menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of menopausal syndrome are generally more common in women around the age of 50 who have gone through menopause. The main symptoms include irritability, emotional fluctuations, sometimes based on depression, intermittent hyperhidrosis, dizziness, palpitations, and poor deep sleep. The main issue is menstrual irregularities, which can include early or delayed periods, increasing menstrual volume, or even having a period every few months until menopause.
