Menopausal night sweats

Night sweats during menopause are mainly caused by the disharmony of yin and yang, liver and kidney yin deficiency. In addition to this symptom, symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, feverishness of the five hearts, insomnia, excessive dreaming, palpitation and shortness of breath, red tongue and fine pulse may also occur. Usually, menopausal night sweats last for about 1-2 years, but if not effectively treated, they can last for 4-5 years or even longer in a small number of people, so they should not be ignored and should be seen by a gynecologist in a timely manner. Treatment should be based on nourishing the liver and kidneys and de-stressing the liver and qi, which can help relieve the symptoms by tonifying but not blocking. To nourish the Yin of the liver and kidneys, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan can be added or subtracted, and to regulate the liver and Qi, Chai Hu Daxi San can be added or subtracted. If the symptoms are accompanied by liver depression and qi stagnation such as impatience and irritability, bitterness and dryness of the mouth and throat, they can be treated with Plus Flavor Progressive Pill. In addition, in daily life, women with menopausal night sweats should adjust the temperature and thickness of the quilt in time to prevent colds during night sleep. Maintaining a good state of mind and actively participating in outdoor sports are all ways to improve menopausal night sweats.
