Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I eat during menopause?Doctor's answer:
Causes of Insomnia in Women During Menopause1. Restlessness and Anxiety
As women age, their patience tends to decrease, making them more easily angered. Many women in menopause experience changes in their bodies, such as becoming more critical of things they previously overlooked. This can lead to mood swings and increased irritability, exacerbating insomnia.
2. Decreased Estrogen and Hormonal Changes
During menopause, ovarian function gradually declines, resulting in reduced estrogen production. This hormonal imbalance can cause symptoms such as palpitations, restlessness, insomnia, chest tightness, depression, memory loss, and heightened irritability.
3. Night Sweats and Hot Flashes
Experiencing night sweats and hot flashes during the night can disrupt normal sleep patterns. Not only does this degrade sleep quality, but it also contributes to depression, anxiety, and low mood. Women may find it difficult to fall asleep due to these disruptions.
