How to judge whether you have entered menopause?
Menopause refers to the specific physiological transition period of men and women. Emphasize that both men and women have it. Generally speaking, it is more obvious for women. Most women also have various symptoms, which is related to the physiological differences between men and women. Female menopause mainly refers to a period of time when reproductive function gradually declines until it disappears. We can know from the Yellow Emperor's Canon that, generally speaking, this time is about 49 years old. At this time, the kidney qi begins to be gradually deficient, the day declines, and menstruation gradually stops, so it no longer has reproductive ability.

At this time, most women will have symptoms such as face and head fever, sweating, irritability, insomnia, headache, numbness of hands and feet, fear of cold, physical pain, fidgeting, palpitations and so on. Before menstruation stops, there will be premature menstruation, menorrhagia, uterine bleeding or delayed menstruation.

What is the cause of climacteric syndrome? The main reason lies in the imbalance of kidney yin and yang, which is mainly divided into kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin yang deficiency. According to everyone's physical condition, there are others, such as liver-yin deficiency, liver-qi stagnation, spleen deficiency, heart-qi deficiency and heart-yin deficiency. Because everyone's physical condition is different and the situation is relatively complicated, it is precisely because of this that syndrome differentiation and treatment are needed. Specifically, the syndrome differentiation treatment should be based on deficiency of both cold and heat, viscera and yin and yang as a whole. In all stages of growth and development, the rise and fall of kidney qi is the dominant factor. Aiming at the problem of climacteric syndrome, the key is to regulate kidney qi and restore the balance of yin and yang. Let's look at three situations.

First, kidney yin deficiency, the main symptoms are fever and sweating, dizziness, upset, insomnia, and there may be blushing, headache, tinnitus, numbness of hands and feet, itchy skin, vaginal dryness, frequent urination, red tongue, and less tongue coating. This is a common situation, such as giving birth to a child, irregular menstruation, etc., all caused by yin blood loss.

Followed by kidney-yang deficiency, the main symptoms are body chills, mental lethargy, physical weakness, dull complexion, edema of face or foot, palpitation, frequent lethargy, cold pain in the lower abdomen, soreness of waist and knees, loss of appetite, heavy menstrual flow, pale face, loose stool, nocturia and thick tongue coating.

Third, kidney yin deficiency and yang deficiency, the main symptoms of this kind are fear of cold, cold hands and feet, edema of hands and feet, facial edema, mental fatigue, fatigue, severe listlessness, or inexplicable sadness and want to cry, sometimes hot flashes, sweating, irritability, eating less, chest tightness, loose stools, nocturia, and even urinary incontinence. The tongue is pale with white or yellowish fur. This is mostly because yin deficiency consumes yang for a long time, or the body is deficient in qi and yang, and the yang is damaged in menopause, resulting in kidney yin and yang deficiency syndrome. The key lies in warming kidney yang and regulating spleen and kidney.
