Patient's question:
Six months ago, due to sudden increased work pressure, I experienced amenorrhea. After resting for a month, my period returned for two months, then stopped again.Doctor's answer:
Causes of Insomnia in Women During Menopause1. Irritated Mentality
As women age, their patience decreases, and they become more easily angered. Many women in menopause can feel changes in themselves, such as things they used to tolerate becoming irritating and unpleasant. This affects their mood, leading to irritability and worsening insomnia.
2. Decreased Estrogen and Endocrine Changes
When women enter menopause, their ovarian function gradually declines, and estrogen secretion decreases. During this time, women may experience palpitations, irritability, insomnia, chest tightness, depression, memory decline, and increased excitability.
3. Night Sweats and Hot Flashes
Night sweats and hot flashes disrupt normal sleep patterns, waking women up with heat. This not only reduces sleep quality but also causes depression, irritability, and low spirits. Women may want to sleep peacefully but are unable to do so due to these reasons.
