The following are methods for treating menopausal hot flashes:
1. Adjust lifestyle: Maintain good sleep habits, avoid excessive fatigue and staying up late, and engage in appropriate physical exercise, such as walking and yoga, to maintain physical health and emotional stability.
2. Dietary regulation: Increase intake of foods rich in estrogen, such as royal jelly and soy products. At the same time, avoid spicy and irritating foods to help alleviate hot flash symptoms.
3. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, estrogen medications such as estradiol valerate and nylestriol, or Chinese patent medicines such as Zhibai Dihuang Wan and Liuwei Dihuang Wan may be used to supplement estrogen levels in the body and relieve hot flash symptoms.
4. Other therapies: Traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion, as well as psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, can also help alleviate menopausal hot flashes.
