The following are the main methods to relieve dry mouth and throat during menopause:
1. Dietary adjustment: It is recommended to eat more low-salt, low-sugar, high-protein foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits—especially water-rich fruits like watermelon and pears—to replenish body fluids and vitamins. Spicy, stimulating, and pickled foods should be avoided, as they may worsen dry mouth symptoms.
2. Maintain emotional stability: Women going through menopause should strive to maintain a positive mood and avoid large emotional fluctuations. Mood can be improved through outdoor activities or communicating with family and friends.
3. Moderate exercise: Regular physical activities such as walking and yoga can improve blood circulation, strengthen the body, and help alleviate symptoms of dry mouth and throat.
4. Medication: If symptoms are severe, medications such as estradiol valerate tablets may be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician to supplement estrogen and regulate hormonal levels, thereby relieving symptoms.
Patients with concerns should seek timely medical advice.
