Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Women between the ages of 45 and 55 transition from middle age to old age, and menstruation gradually ceases. The physiological basis for menopause is due to the degeneration of the ovaries, where function declines from reduction to complete cessation, leading to decreased estrogen secretion and loss of fertility. Menopausal women, in addition to changes in menstruation, may also exhibit some clinical symptoms: sudden heat and redness on the face or neck in the afternoon or evening, easy sweating, and a feeling of restlessness in the palms, soles, and heart area; significant fluctuations in blood pressure, characterized by elevated systolic pressure; a sense of oppression in the chest area, palpitations, and discomfort; anxiety, depression, a desire to cry, irritability, and insomnia.
