Patient's question:
I am 51 years old. Last March, construction began on renovating my home. Due to repeated delays in the work, the project was not completed on time (it was delayed by three months). During this period, I experienced a phase where I was always easily frightened by small things, feeling a chill from my back to my entire body, and having numbness in my scalp. The previous year, I had also missed my period for half a year, but later it returned. Please tell me if this is just menopause or if there is a psychological issue? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Eat foods high in calcium regularly, such as milk, soy products, fish, shrimp, crabs, sesame seeds, etc., or supplement with calcium and vitamin D in appropriate amounts. It is recommended to increase outdoor activities. It is advisable to go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for ultrasound and related tests, such as the six sex hormones, under the guidance of a doctor. Menopausal syndrome not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the hospital's gynecology department to identify the cause and treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
