Patient's question:
Mother has stopped menstruating, she is irritable, gets angry easily, and I don't know if she has entered menopause. Is stopping menstruation the same as menopause?Doctor's answer:
Your mother is 50 years old and has entered menopause, experiencing irritability. Her anger is due to menopausal symptoms. The period before and after menopause is the peak time for menopausal symptoms. It is recommended that you encourage your mother to participate in training courses she is interested in and maintain a joyful mood. This may help alleviate menopausal symptoms. If the symptoms are severe, it is advised that you have your mother take oral Shen Guo Pian and Zhen Yuan Pian for treatment.During the treatment period, the patient should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
