Patient's question:
For 3-4 years, I've been experiencing insomnia, fever, and sweating. I went through menopause in March of this year and haven't taken any leave for the past 8 months. Now, I often feel dizzy and nauseous, with shoulder and cervical spine pain, and have no appetite.Doctor's answer:
Menopause is a special period where ovarian function gradually declines, and the synthesis of estrogen also decreases day by day. For example: flushing, night sweats, upper body heat, irregular menstruation, high blood pressure, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest tightness, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, dizziness, tinnitus, palpitations, and decreased libido. To alleviate menopausal symptoms, one can generally consider consuming more soy products rich in isoflavones. For severe cases, hormone therapy or traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be used for regulation.
