Patient's question:
During the transitional period, a series of changes in women due to sex hormonesDoctor's answer:
Hello:The perimenopausal syndrome refers to a cluster of symptoms primarily characterized by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, accompanied by neuro psychological symptoms, caused by gradual decline in ovarian function and a decrease in estradiol levels in the blood in women after the age of 40 due to endocrine changes. The severity of this syndrome is also closely related to physical condition, health status, psychological factors, emotions, environment, personality, and cultural attainment. Analysis of perimenopausal symptoms and related factors among Chinese women indicates that highly educated women engaged in mental labor are more prone to this condition. Early menarche, short menstrual cycles, irregular periods, and dysmenorrhea are also associated with a higher incidence of symptoms. There is a tendency for symptoms to be similar among mothers and sisters. Stable surrounding environments and harmonious family relationships are associated with a lower incidence, suggesting that the onset of symptoms is not due to a single cause but rather involves multiple factors such as social, family, and psychological ones. Therefore, a comprehensive approach should be adopted to study preventive and therapeutic measures.
1. Health Education: Conduct health education activities on perimenopausal care knowledge through multiple channels and formats to enhance public understanding of perimenopause, helping them recognize the nature, characteristics, and causes of this syndrome and build confidence.
2. Emotional Regulation: Help women in perimenopause develop diverse interests and hobbies, maintain a cheerful mood and optimistic spirit, and participate in public and collective activities to cultivate their character. Avoid excessive fatigue and emotional excitement, and approach challenges such as children leaving home, retirement, or job changes in a positive manner. Establish good interpersonal relationships and social support to reduce stress and psychological pressure from various aspects, which contributes to mental relaxation.
