A patient I know has also become my friend. She has been menopausal for two years, but she doesn't look like a menopausal woman at all. Usually contact with menopausal women, the biggest feeling is that they are too anxious and easily agitated. My friend, on the other hand, is refreshed and smiling every time we meet. I can't help asking her why.

"I think the concept of menopause is very mysterious. There are some physical effects, but I think what is more important is psychology. If you care too much, then you will amplify your body's reaction and make your spirit more nervous. But if you choose to ignore it and focus on other things, you will find that it may not have that great influence on you. I am singing, dancing and doing what I like every day, trying to make myself happy and calm in my life. "

What she said is simple, but it makes sense. I also often reflect on whether my diagnosis and treatment methods for patients are appropriate. If we just remind her that this is a disease, physical therapy with drugs may not be good for her spirit. Especially for menopausal women, psychological stress may be more violent than physical influence.

Take a deep breath and relax.

Having a good mood is the beginning of health. Chatting with friends, shopping and eating delicious food can all be a pleasure. There are places that I have always wanted to go but have no time to go, and things that I have always wanted to do but have no energy to do, which can be realized one by one. Focus on the beautiful little things around you, and don't dwell on those things that bother you.

Eat well and sleep well.

China has a tradition of dietotherapy since ancient times, and a delicious recipe can also make your mood more pleasant. Eat more fruits and vegetables and high-protein foods, reduce high-fat and spicy foods, and have a balanced diet. Sleep quality is also critical. Put on a set of cotton skin-friendly products, buy a comfortable pillow, warm a glass of milk before going to bed, and sleep peacefully with light music.
