Medical history: Uterine fibroids
Auxiliary tests: Low platelet count
Other: Hyperthyroidism
Duration and frequency of the current illness: 2 months, with episodes lasting 1 to 4 hours each time
Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that you have had your uterus removed, and this can still lead to menopause symptoms. This is because whether or not you experience menopause is not related to the uterus; the key is to look at the hormonal levels in your body.The onset of menopausal symptoms does not only affect a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up at the gynecology department of a hospital. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment can be administered. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
