Be careful if your physical strength deteriorates or you feel depressed for no apparent reason! The occurrence of these “5 situations” may be a warning sign of menopause
Menopause is a necessary stage for women and has become a “nightmare” for many women. “Smiling Pharmacist” Pharmacist Liao Weicheng said that menopause not only affects women’s physiological functions, but may also lead to poor mental state and brain dysfunction, which in turn affects the family atmosphere and creates emotional rifts among family members.
Pharmacist Liao Weicheng explained that in women between the ages of 42 and 52, the ovarian function in the body may begin to decline, and the hormones will also decrease, causing the blood vessels to continuously contract and expand, causing symptoms such as “hot flashes” and making people irritable. It may be One of the reasons why the personality of female elders in the family changes.
Pharmacist Liao Weicheng reminds women that there are “five major signs” before women enter menopause. If the following five conditions are met, they should consult an obstetrics and gynecology department or endocrinology department for appropriate intervention in related treatments or work and rest adjustments.
Physical strength becomes worse. For example, when doing housework or taking care of children, you may find that your physical strength is not as good as before and you may feel tired easily.
Feeling inexplicably depressed. It is easy to feel sad and depressed because of the words and deeds of relatives and friends around you.
Sleep disorders. I toss and turn at night, unable to fall asleep, and when I wake up in the morning, I feel tired instead of reduced.
Decreased memory and concentration. It is easy to forget important things and cannot concentrate when working or doing household chores.
Anxiety and worrying about gains and losses. There may be increased possessiveness, overthinking, depression, etc.
Do you need extra nutritional supplements during menopause? What diseases cannot eat health food?
Pharmacist Liao Weicheng suggests that if you have relatives or friends in your family who are going through menopause, you may wish to practice “changing your mind” with them. Changes in your mood will help ease your mood and restore your optimism. In addition, it is recommended that menopausal women exercise at least 30 minutes a day, which can effectively improve menopausal symptoms.
Pharmacist Liao Weicheng added that in addition to reducing the physical and mental burden through the above methods, menopausal women can also appropriately supplement nutrients, which can help improve menopausal symptoms. For example, soy isoflavones can improve the problem of hot flashes before and after menopause, and can also relieve emotional instability and irritability.
In addition, royal jelly is rich in DHEA, which is a natural hormone precursor. If you find fine lines on your face and signs of aging begin to appear at this time, consuming royal jelly can slow down the aging process.
However, pharmacist Liao Weicheng reminds that if women themselves or have a history of breast cancer, cervical cancer, or uterine fibroids in their family, they should avoid taking health products containing DHEA such as royal jelly to avoid inducing hormonal problems and increasing the risk of cancer.
