Menopause can generally be managed through dietary adjustments, regular sleep patterns, appropriate exercise, emotional regulation, and medication.
Menopause is a natural physiological stage during which women transition from their reproductive years to non-reproductive years, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. To manage menopausal symptoms, lifestyle modifications should be the first consideration. Maintain healthy eating habits, consuming more foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as milk, soy products, and leafy green vegetables, to support bone health. Keep a regular sleep schedule, going to bed early and waking up early, avoiding staying up late.
Additionally, engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or jogging, for at least 15 minutes daily, which can help improve blood circulation and promote relaxation. Maintain emotional well-being and avoid prolonged anxiety, depression, or irritability. When negative emotions arise, promptly adjust them and communicate with family and friends. If symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, or night sweats occur, medications to alleviate menopausal symptoms, such as Menopause Relief Capsules or Dan Zhi Xiao Yao Pills, may be taken under a doctor's guidance.
