Does menopause cause high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Didn't go to the hospital

Doctor's answer:

Menopause in women can potentially cause high blood pressure. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is attributed to liver blood deficiency and insufficient liver yin. When yin is insufficient, the floating yang Qi can lead to temporary blood pressure elevation. However, generally, adjusting your emotions, maintaining a positive mindset, and incorporating more vegetables and fruits into your diet can be very beneficial, helping to reverse this quickly.
The occurrence of menopausal syndrome not only affects the patient's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
