Patient's question:
I am now approaching the age of menopause. It is said that at this stage, women may experience some uncomfortable symptoms again, and their tempers may also become worse. Deep sleep may also become poor. I want to start preventive measures early and take some health supplements to nourish my body, so that my health doesn't worsen later. I would like to know what women should eat during menopause.Doctor's answer:
Menopausal insomnia is caused by the gradual increase in estrogen excretion from the ovaries during menopause and the continuous rise in gonadotropin secretion by the pituitary gland, leading to transient endocrine dysfunction in the nervous and endocrine systems. This disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis feedback system and the autonomic nervous system, resulting in depression and anxiety, which are often the main causes of neurosis.The current condition of the patient can be treated with a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and herbal therapies based on syndrome differentiation. A comprehensive evaluation of the function of internal organs, balancing yin and yang, and adjusting emotions can help the patient gradually recover.
