Patient's question:
I am 42 years old and female. I had my last menstrual period on October 28th and haven't had one since. All gynecological exams have been normal. However, I have been experiencing lower back pain, warmth in my palms, and sometimes irritability. I would like to ask if this could be menopause? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition you described falls under the category of discomfort symptoms caused by menopause. It is primarily due to the disruption of the autonomic nervous system and endocrine imbalance resulting from qi and blood deficiency. Generally, conventional drugs are difficult to ( means "cure" or "" in Chinese, but it seems like a typo and should be "" which means "eliminate" or "" which means "eradicate". I will assume it means "" in this context), and Western medicine does not have a specific remedy.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been practiced in clinical settings, and there are many effective and miraculous formulas. These traditional Chinese herbs, such as prepared polygonum multiflorum, taizishen, qingyangshen, iron gall powder, human placenta, white fish fat, huai niuxi, deer antler ash, prepared rhino horn, red and white peony root, safflower, peach kernel, purple cloud herb, fresh basil, nandina leaves, cordyceps, longan flesh, clove, Guangdong purple berry, kuancao, chicken blood vine, qianjinba, ophiopogon, aspic, snake venom, xianmao, xianlingshi, rottlerin, asparagus, dodder seed, luolutong, raw coix seed, red root, prepared rehmannia, sanleng, zhibitang, prepared gentian, and licorice root, are used in combination for treatment.
When these traditional Chinese herbs are used together, they can dispel stagnation in the meridians, replenish qi and nourish blood, achieving dual replenishment of qi and blood. This approach addresses both the root and symptoms, rapidly improves immunity, thoroughly adjusts the balance of yin and yang, regulates the autonomic nervous system, and promotes the secretion of female hormones. It can quickly correct endocrine imbalance and effectively alleviate menopausal symptoms.
I hope you receive proper treatment and recover soon!
