1. Temporary joint pain
This is because of joint pain caused by vasoconstriction. It is recommended to supplement with estrogen, which can effectively relieve temporary joint pain.
II. Osteoporosis
Women going through menopause experience a decrease in estrogen levels, which slows down various bodily functions, making them more prone to calcium deficiency and osteoporosis. In addition to calcium supplementation, it is recommended to get plenty of sunshine, supplement with vitamin D (such as cod liver oil and sardines), and engage in appropriate exercise to prevent bone loss.
III. Obesity
Women going through menopause are more prone to middle-age obesity due to a decreased metabolic rate, reduced physical activity, and potentially a more relaxed lifestyle. Therefore, it is recommended that menopausal women pay close attention to this, eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding picky eating, ensuring a balanced intake of various nutrients, and drinking plenty of water. Drinking plenty of water can promote metabolism and suppress appetite, thus reducing the risk of obesity in menopausal women.
IV. Menopausal Psychological Disorders
Some menopausal women are also prone to insomnia, irritability, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, sensitivity, and memory loss. These are actually some of the most common problems women experience during menopause. To address these issues, women are advised to communicate more with their families, avoid dwelling on problems, and, if necessary, seek help from a psychologist to navigate menopause smoothly. It's important to understand the physiological and psychological changes during menopause and manage stress effectively. Family members should also provide ample support during this period.
V. Organ atrophy
Women going through menopause are more prone to organ atrophy due to hormonal changes and endocrine imbalances. Symptoms may include vulvar itching, painful intercourse, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and cystitis. When women experience these problems, it's best to consult a gynecologist directly to see if hormone supplementation or other targeted treatments are necessary.
VI. Postmenopausal hypertension
Menopausal hypertension is a type of autonomic nervous system disorder, characterized by unstable blood pressure. This type of blood pressure fluctuation usually returns to normal before the end of menopause, so there is no need to put too much psychological pressure on yourself.
VII. Atherosclerosis
Studies have found that menopausal women are a high-risk group for atherosclerosis, and clinical practice recommends estrogen supplementation. However, whether estrogen supplementation can cure atherosclerosis requires further diagnosis and treatment by a specialist.
