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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What are the symptoms of menopause in women?Doctor's answer:
Women in menopause, due to the decline in ovarian function, hyperfunction of the pituitary gland, and the secretion of excessive gonadotropins, cause dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system, leading to a series of symptoms of varying severity, such as changes in menstruation, flushing, palpitations, insomnia, fatigue, depression, excessive worry, emotional instability, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, which are referred to as "menopausal syndrome." Most women, due to the relatively slow decline in ovarian function, have sufficient self-regulation and compensation within the body to adapt to this change, or only experience mild symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that menopausal syndrome is caused by insufficient kidney qi, the decline of Tian Gui, and the resulting imbalance of yin and yang. Therefore, the primary methods of treatment focus on replenishing kidney qi and adjusting the balance of yin and yang.
