Diagnosis and Symptoms of Menopause Syndrome

As a physiological stage that every woman must go through, menopause is not a disease in itself. However, the various symptoms it displays often bring great trouble to women’s lives. Therefore, the medical term “menopause syndrome”, also known as “menopause syndrome”, is one of the common, easy to occur and frequent gynecological diseases of women. What is menopause syndrome? Menopause syndrome refers to a series of syndromes caused by the gradual decline or loss of ovarian function around the time of menopause, resulting in a series of syndromes mainly characterized by vegetative nervous system dysfunction and metabolic disorders. Under normal circumstances, if a woman’s menstrual cycle changes more than 7 days twice in a year, it means she has entered menopause. In the female body, there are more than 400 parts of the body are dependent on the ovary secretion of estrogen to maintain their own vitality, if women are compared to flowers, then estrogen is like rain, is the necessary conditions for the flowers to bloom. When the ovaries lose the ability to secrete estrogen, women’s physiological metabolism, which was originally stable, will be immediately disrupted, resulting in a series of physiological phenomena, and with the physiological changes, women will also experience some psychological discomfort. How is Menopause Syndrome diagnosed? It is not difficult to diagnose the syndrome based on the medical history and clinical manifestations, but it is necessary to exclude organic diseases with related symptoms, thyroid diseases and psychiatric disorders, etc. Laboratory tests such as evaluation of ovarian function are helpful for the diagnosis. Generally, blood FSH value and estrogen value are measured to understand the ovarian function: 1. Blood FSH>10 IU/L during the transition period of menopause suggests a decline in the ovarian reserve function; 2. Amenorrhea, FSH>40 IU/L and E2<10-20pg/ml suggests the failure of ovarian function. What are the symptoms of menopause syndrome? 1, menstrual disorders: menstruation gradually decreases, the cycle is prolonged, and the period is shortened, so that menopause gradually occurs. However, there are also cases of increased menstrual flow, accompanied by a large number of blood clots, and then slowly stop. 2, mental and vegetative mental dysfunction: the patient often feels a burst of head and neck flushing, flushing and sweating, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, lumbago, dry mouth, burning sensation in the throat, it is not easy to concentrate on the thought, skin numbness and itchy, and sometimes there is a sense of ants, i.e., there is a sensation of ants crawling in the body and so on, or even hysterical episodes, and so on. Complications: palpitations, increased blood pressure, obesity, swelling of the lower limbs, joint pain, osteoporosis, etc. 4, psychological symptoms: nervousness and agitation, emotional instability, memory loss, suspiciousness, irritability and depression. How to treat menopause syndrome? 1.Psychotherapy Psychotherapy is an important part of the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome, which can be supplemented by autonomic function regulating drugs, such as ghrelin and valium, which can help to regulate the autonomic function. At the same time, patients should be given mental encouragement to dispel doubts and build up confidence, so as to promote the recovery of health. 2, drug treatment Western medicine believes that the decline of ovarian secretion function is the most fundamental reason for the development of menopausal syndrome, therefore, often take "hormone replacement therapy" to maintain estrogen at a certain level in women's bodies, but there are many adverse reactions, and even increase the risk of tumor disease. According to Chinese medicine, kidney deficiency is the root cause of menopausal syndrome, and external factors such as external evils, excessive labor, seven emotional injuries and dietary disorders are the external factors of menopausal syndrome. Therefore, instead of directly supplementing sex hormones, Chinese herbal medicine can be used to naturally adjust the balance of the body, activate and maintain the function of the ovaries, secrete hormones on its own, promote blood circulation in the body, and then improve the physiological functions of the five organs and six bowels to alleviate the symptoms of menopausal syndromes with fewer side effects. In order to improve the therapeutic effect and avoid the side effects of "hormone replacement therapy", our hospital carries forward the concept of combining Chinese and Western medicines to treat menopausal syndromes. For many years, our hospital has been using the hospital's protocol, Menopause Formula, to treat menopausal syndromes with good results. The formula consists of ten Chinese medicines, namely, tortoise board, ripened earth, raw herbs, cornelian cherry, raw oyster, schizandra, sour jujube nut, farzhi, danpi, and poria, which are used together to tonify the kidneys and tranquilize the heart, nourish the yin and clear away the heat and at the same time regulate the balance of the kidneys-Tiankoui-Congren-Uterus axis, which effectively relieves the above mentioned symptoms of menopause syndrome such as hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, and so forth, and the effect is remarkable.
