Recommended treatments for menopause

Menopause is an inevitable result of the decline of female ovarian function. Perimenopause is a natural physiological stage in a woman's life. Menopausal syndrome refers to a group of physical and psychological symptoms caused by the decline of ovarian function and the fluctuation or decline of estrogen levels before and after menopause. Normal women go through menopause at around 50 years old.

Common symptoms include hot flashes, sweating, dizziness, tinnitus, irritability, depression, insomnia, mood swings, frequent urination, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, muscle and joint pain, back pain, etc. Women in this stage often suffer from psychological abnormalities due to the huge gap between their subjective wishes and objective reality. Interpersonal relationships, economic problems, family relationships, etc. can all become important factors that induce or aggravate this disease, seriously endangering the patient's quality of life and physical and mental health. Generally, it lasts for 3-5 years, and can last for 10-20 years or even longer in some cases. This disease is a common gynecological disease.

With the strengthening of my country's economic strength, the significant improvement of living conditions and nutritional status, and the progress of medical insurance, the average life expectancy of Chinese women has been extended to 71 years old. Postmenopausal women will continue to live for about 25 years, which accounts for about 1M3 of their entire life span. Modern women are paying more and more attention to their health and quality of life. When women have menopausal syndrome, hormone replacement therapy combined with Chinese medicine conditioning is the only solution to this problem. Especially when the "treatment window period" is started, strictly control the indications and contraindications, and use estrogen and progesterone to treat menopausal syndrome for women with uterus, which will greatly improve the health of patients. Benefit middle-aged and elderly women.

The main purpose of hormone replacement therapy is to prevent chronic diseases in the elderly caused by long-term estrogen deficiency. Although this has been confirmed by a large number of evidence-based medical research institutes, it is not known to the general public. The guidelines of the International Menopause Society also recommend the continued use of hormone replacement therapy to relieve menopausal symptoms, improve urogenital atrophy, and prevent bone loss and fractures. In China, both the family members of the patients and the menopausal women themselves instinctively reject all hormone treatments, especially long-term use, due to the traditional fear of hormones. As medical workers, it is their obligation to improve their cognitive level and attention to menopausal issues. Therefore, when women experience menopausal syndrome, they should communicate with their doctors in time to seek help and treatment.
