Why does menopause cause irritability?

Patient's question:

Appeared menopause, appeared to sweat, irritable, bad temper, etc.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be related to the menopausal syndrome of visceral restlessness. The occurrence of this disease is associated with the patient's constitutional factors. Visceral restlessness refers to insufficient yin in the viscera. Deficiency of essence and blood internally leads to the nourishment of the five viscera being impaired, causing the internal fire of the five emotions to stir, which then disturbs the heart's spirit, resulting in visceral restlessness.
Ganmai Dazao Decoction (Sweet Millet, Wheat, and Jujube Decoction) can be used with modifications for treatment, which may be effective. The onset of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
