Patient's question:
Mother has been very irritable recently. She gets angry over the slightest things, and I feel very troubled. I think she might be going through menopause, although I can understand that, I don't want to feel so heartbroken. I want to communicate well with her. Please help me find an answer: How do I communicate with a menopausal mother?Doctor's answer:
First, you should have a correct understanding of female menopause, which is a normal physiological stage for women and is caused by an increase in the secretion of estrogen in the body. Family members must provide sufficient recognition and comfort, otherwise, the patient will also suffer. Most patients may experience symptoms such as easily agitated emotions, fatigue, palpitations, and excessive sweating. A very small number of patients may experience depression. They can take modified Xiao Yao Wan orally, twice a day, with 9 grams each time.
