Colds, in general, are divided into the common cold and influenza, and here we will discuss the common cold first. The common cold, called “cold wind” in Chinese medicine, is a common respiratory disease caused by a variety of viruses, 30%-50% of which are caused by a certain serotype of rhinovirus. Although the common cold mostly occurs in early winter, it can occur in any season, such as spring and summer, and the viruses that cause the cold in different seasons are not exactly the same. Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. The virus is present in the patient’s respiratory tract and is transmitted to others via droplets when the patient coughs or sneezes. Influenza is highly contagious, and because the virus is easily mutated, even a person who has had influenza will still be infected when the next influenza epidemic strikes, so influenza tends to cause outbreaks. Generally, there is a higher chance of epidemic in winter and spring, and 20-40% of people may be infected with influenza each time. Menopause is a transitional period when a woman’s ovarian function gradually declines from a state of vigor to complete disappearance, including menopause and the period before and after menopause. It is called “perimenopausal syndrome” in Chinese medicine. During menopause, women can experience a series of physical and psychological changes. Most women are able to go through menopause smoothly, but there are a few women who are plagued by a series of symptoms that affect their physical and mental health due to the large physical and psychological changes that occur during menopause. Therefore, every woman who reaches menopause should pay attention to strengthening her self-care to ensure a smooth transition through this transitional period of her life.
