Patient's question:
Usually, Mom is a very gentle person and I hardly see her get angry. But recently, I've noticed she's been particularly irritable and her complexion isn't very good. After visiting the hospital, they said it's a symptom of menopause. I hope the doctor can help recommend some Chinese herbal medicine for replenishing qi and blood during menopause.Doctor's answer:
Menopause can be managed orally with many traditional Chinese medicine formulas that tonify qi and nourish blood, which helps stabilize qi and blood deficiency conditions. In terms of diet, it's advisable to consume more foods that tonify qi and nourish blood, such as Chinese yam, black fungus, egg yolk, lean meat, etc. Avoid spicy foods, as they can easily cause digestive issues and worsen symptoms. Increasing outdoor activities can help alleviate stress. A positive mood is very beneficial for recovery from illness.
