Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Women aged 40 to 45 and above often experience facial and lower limb edema, also known as swelling. This is due to abnormal water and salt metabolism during menopause. Retention of sodium in the body is often accompanied by water retention. At this time, serum sodium levels may be normal, but the total amount of sodium in the body is still excessive, leading to clinical manifestations of varying degrees of edema. Chinese herbal medicine regulation can be considered, and maintaining a cheerful mood is also beneficial.
