Patient's question:
Annoyance, dizziness, oversleeping, fear of cold, feeling of pressure in the headHelp needed: What illness could be causing this?
Doctor's answer:
Menopause is a stage that everyone experiences. It refers to the transitional period from sexual maturity to old age. The age range for women's menopause is generally considered to be between 45 and 55, while for men, it is between 55 and 65. Menopausal symptoms in women are relatively common. So, what are the symptoms of menopausal syndrome in women?1. Menstrual changes and hot flashes: These are severe symptoms of menopausal syndrome and also the most common ones. Severe cases may lead to night sweats, anemia, insomnia, and other discomforts, significantly reducing the quality of life.
2. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular issues: Symptoms include chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, fluctuating blood pressure, dizziness, and blurred vision. Due to the decline in estrogen levels, cholesterol in the blood can rise, making atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and hypertension more likely.
3. Neurological and psychiatric symptoms: Changes in personality, suspicion, anxiety, emotional fluctuations, irritability, memory loss, and insomnia.
4. Urinary and reproductive system issues: Due to the decline in estrogen levels, symptoms such as vaginal dryness, reduced libido, painful intercourse, itching of the external genitalia, vaginitis, urethritis, and frequent urination may occur.
5. Bone and muscle issues: Osteoporosis, neck and back pain, cramps, joint pain, and an increased risk of fractures.
Precautions: Severe menopausal symptoms should be taken seriously. After the age of 30, estrogen levels decline, and menopause accounts for 15% of the decline. Supplementing with soy isoflavones can compensate for the deficiency in estrogen secretion after the age of 30, improve skin moisture, alleviate menopausal symptoms, and reduce osteoporosis, helping women regain their youthful charm.
