Patient's question:
Mom is in menopause now, her temper is also bad, and she often sweats a lot. Her arms and legs also hurt a bit, sometimes feel tired and sore. I wonder if it's caused by calcium deficiency. It's said that Caltrate is good for calcium supplementation, so I want to buy some to try. Please advise the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Women in menopause often experience disturbances in calcium and phosphorus catabolism, making them prone to repeated calcium loss from bones and osteoporosis. Therefore, it is important to supplement with calcium. You can consume more calcium-rich foods such as fish, shrimp shells, sesame seeds, and soy products. Milk is an ideal calcium supplement due to its high calcium content and ease of absorption. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as stimulant beverages like coffee and strong tea. Sour jujubes and red dates have calming and blood pressure-lowering effects and can be consumed more frequently. It is recommended to combine traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture with modern psychological therapy for comprehensive treatment.
