Do you have the feeling that your mother is “inflammable and explosive”, has a temper, and always makes trouble because of trivial things, becomes crying and sentimental… Actually, this is not too “contrived” ”, nor is it a psychological problem, but a series of symptoms caused by menopausal syndrome. To make matters worse, most mothers who are in menopause do not know that menopausal syndrome is a “disease” and must be “treated”. In addition, the disease will bring many symptoms that disturb life, and may even bring potential harm to physical health.
Menopause is medically called “perimenopause”, and perimenopausal syndrome is actually a series of manifestations caused by fluctuations and declines in hormones in the body before and after menopause, such as anxiety. , depression, sleep disorders, etc. Usually, menopause does not have a very precise age range, most of which are around 45 to 50 years old. In recent years, the age of onset is earlier and the incidence rate is increasing.
Ye Jixing, chief physician of the gynecology department of the Fourth Hospital of Zhejiang University, introduced that many people think that menopause is a natural phenomenon, and it will pass by “carrying it out”. In addition to hot flashes, sweating, insomnia and dreams, excitement and irritability, it may also increase the incidence of vascular diseases, bone loss, and Alzheimer’s. It can be said that menopause is a very important watershed in every woman’s life. Female friends should pay attention to the early symptoms and hazards of menopause.
However, there is a solution to the symptoms of menopause, which is estrogen replacement therapy. This treatment method has three main points: the first is to seize the window period. If the menstrual period is abnormal twice within 10 months, it is the best period to supplement estrogen. Estrogen is supplemented; secondly, it is necessary to pay attention not to break the file, and continue to give small doses of estrogen stimulation, which has certain benefits for protecting women’s cardiovascular; thirdly, under the guidance of a doctor, supplement according to the changes in hormones in the body. According to the doctor, progesterone and estrogen are currently extracted from plants, and the chemical structure is almost the same as that of the human body’s own hormones. As long as the drug is used rationally under the guidance of the doctor, and follow-up and monitoring are paid attention to, the risk of hormone replacement therapy is very small. In principle, if there are no contraindications, estrogen can be supplemented until the age of seventy or eighty.
Whether it is about to enter menopause or a female friend who is going through menopause, if you feel unwell, you should go to the gynecological outpatient clinic in time for regular review and follow-up. Of course, what is more important is the care and understanding of the family, so that we can spend this “special period” peacefully together.
