Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

As a woman who is approaching menopause, what are the most effective strategies for managing common symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances? Please suggest. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your query and understand your concern. After menopause, there is a deficiency of estrogen hormone and calcium. This deficiency can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, irritation, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness. To address these symptoms, you can consider taking external estrogen supplements. In order to prevent calcium deficiency, I suggest you take calcium supplements and consume dairy products, which are rich in calcium. Additionally, regular exercise, practicing yoga asanas, and engaging in brisk walking for at least 15 to 30 minutes can be beneficial for managing menopausal symptoms and maintaining overall health. I hope this information is helpful.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
