What is menopausal syndrome?
Menopause refers to a special physiological stage in which women transition from the reproductive period to old age, usually occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. During this process, ovarian function gradually declines, estrogen levels decrease, and the body experiences a series of symptoms, which we call menopausal syndrome.
The manifestations of menopausal syndrome vary from person to person, and common ones include:
Menstrual disorders, hot flashes, night sweats, palpitations, emotional fluctuations, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, frequent urination, urgency to urinate, bone and joint pain, dry and loose skin, etc.
What are the hazards of menopausal syndrome?
Menopausal syndrome not only affects women's quality of life, but also increases the risk of certain diseases, such as:
Osteoporosis: Decreased estrogen levels can lead to bone loss and increase the risk of fractures.
Cardiovascular disease: Estrogen has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, and the risk of cardiovascular disease increases in women after menopause.
Metabolic diseases: Estrogen has a good regulatory effect on blood glucose and blood lipids. After menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which can lead to increased visceral fat, insulin resistance, and abnormal blood glucose and lipid levels.
