Which stage has the most severe menopausal symptoms?

Menopause generally refers to perimenopausal syndrome. It is inaccurate to claim that symptoms of perimenopausal syndrome are most severe at a particular stage, as there may be individual differences; some patients may experience more severe symptoms during the postmenopausal period. If a patient feels significant discomfort, medication can be taken under a doctor's guidance.

Perimenopausal syndrome refers to autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by fluctuations or declines in sex hormones before and after a woman's menopause. Some patients may also experience neuropsychological symptoms. The condition can be classified into natural menopause and artificial menopause. Generally, due to individual differences in physical constitution, symptom presentation varies significantly among patients, so it is not accurate to state that "perimenopausal syndrome symptoms are most severe at a certain stage." However, some patients may experience irregular menstrual cycles and unstable menstrual flow during the postmenopausal phase, ranging from prolonged spotting to excessive bleeding, until menstruation finally ceases. Some may even develop menopausal depression. For patients with severe symptoms, medications such as oryzanol tablets or Zhibai Dihuang Pills may be used under medical supervision.

Women should maintain a calm and balanced mindset, avoiding excessive anger or depression; they should go to bed early and rise early, avoiding staying up late; and they should pay attention to healthy eating habits, avoiding overeating or binge eating.
