Patient's question:
I am forty-five years old this year. Since this spring, my emotions have been very unstable, and I often get angry without knowing why. Sometimes I also have headaches and dizziness, and my deep sleep is not very good. It should be menopause. Hello, should I see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a Western medicine doctor for menopause?Doctor's answer:
Menopausal syndrome is actually caused by the recurrence of hormonal imbalances in the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is considered to be due to the imbalance of yin and yang endocrine systems. You can consult a TCM practitioner or a Western medicine doctor, but it is recommended to combine both for better treatment outcomes. You can also complement your treatment with many TCM practices such as acupuncture and moxibustion for regulation.If you frequently get angry and experience symptoms like dizziness and poor sleep, it may be due to yin deficiency in the liver and kidneys. Taking Chinese herbal medicine for regulation can be more effective in this case.
