The most obvious symptoms of gastrointestinal dysfunction during menopause include abdominal distension and pain, nausea and vomiting, and poor bowel movement.
1. Abdominal distension: Gastrointestinal dysfunction during menopause will affect the speed of peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and cause food to remain in the gastrointestinal tract for a long period of time, which affects the digestion of food, and also affects the defecation, which may cause abdominal distension if the food accumulates in the intestinal tract for a long period of time.
2. Nausea and vomiting: Gastrointestinal dysfunction during menopause will lead to gradual inefficiency of gastrointestinal functioning, and will also affect the speed of food digestion, if the food can not be completely digested and accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract, food reflux may occur, which will cause nausea and vomiting in severe cases.
3. Poor defecation: Because of gastrointestinal dysfunction, too much food stays in the gastrointestinal area, and if the food accumulates in the intestines for a long time and cannot be discharged through gastrointestinal peristalsis, it will result in excessive absorption of water in the intestines, leading to constipation.
Gastrointestinal dysfunction during menopause may also cause lack of appetite, acid reflux, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for the above mentioned discomforts and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
