The term "menopause", presumably everyone should have heard of in life, it refers to the transformation of female gonad function from decline to complete loss, which does not specifically refer to menopause, but includes premenopause, menopause, and postmenopausal three stages.
Because of this, in the 90s of the upper world, menopause has been renamed "perimenopause".
After entering menopause, because women's ovarian function begins to decline rapidly and hormone secretion is gradually disrupted, women will have multiple physiological and psychological discomforts, such as frequent irritability, symptoms of flushing and sweating, frequent insomnia and so on.
Among them, the most typical emotional changes are those who have a good personality before, and they will become extremely irritable due to menopause.
In addition to the typical menopausal symptoms, some menopausal women also have similar manifestations of heart disease in their lives, often with symptoms such as "angina", chest tightness and shortness of breath, and palpitations.
This makes patients worry, afraid that heart disease has found themselves, or even did not carry out relevant examinations, and began to blindly use drugs. So the question is, what is the problem of menopausal women's panic?
The answer is only three words: more years of age!
Since nearly 20 years, menopausal syndrome has become a very fashionable diagnosis in medicine, and many 45-55-year-old women have sought medical examinations due to symptoms such as shortness of breath, insomnia and dreams, irritability, increased blood pressure, and pain in the precordial area, and the diagnosis given by doctors is "menopausal syndrome".
In fact, in most cases, this performance is a signal of the arrival of "old age". There are a large number of studies that show that nearly 1/2 of women with menopausal syndrome will have a menopausal heart.
Menopause refers not to organic lesions that appear on the heart or cardiovascular system, but to women who enter premenopause or menopause, due to the continuous decline and decline of ovarian function, resulting in a significant lack of estrogen in the patient's body, and then develop into endocrine dysfunction, and it will also be infected with the metabolic process and normal secretion of the neurotransmitter "catecholamines";
This in turn will have an impact on the hypothalamus, resulting in hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone cyclical center, heat dissipation center of the stability out of balance, so that the blood vessels spasm, and then cause changes in the cardiovascular system, which is mainly manifested as chest tightness, dizziness and headache, flushing and sweating, increased blood pressure, pseudoanginal, arrhythmia and so on.
Because the subjective feelings of patients with older hearts are very much, and they are infinitely magnified by patients, patients often seek medical treatment repeatedly, forming a greater psychological pressure, and eventually causing a vicious circle, and the symptoms are getting more and more serious.
Especially in women who are smart and capable when they are young, they are more likely to develop older hearts, and the symptoms are relatively serious, and even angina symptoms like myocardial infarction, but in fact, the patient's cardiovascular disease has no organic problems.
However, it should be emphasized here that after menopause, not only will the ovarian function be aging, but also the various organs of the body will gradually age, and the blood vessels are no exception.
Therefore, after menopause, the incidence of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular disease in women has increased significantly, so it is indeed impossible to relax their vigilance when such symptoms appear. Women should seek medical attention in time for relevant examinations, exclude the risk of heart disease, and then start relevant conditioning according to the doctor's recommendations.
