拜媒體大力宣導之賜,三十多年前還不為台灣民眾所熟悉的醫學名詞「更年期」,如今儼然已是基本常識的一環了,只要是女性,年齡略長(年輕的也會被冠上早發性更年期),有盜汗、熱潮紅、暴躁易怒等傾向,就很容易被人問到:「你是不是更年期啊?」
而前面所描述的各種指標性症狀,加上其他不一定人人都有的大小不適,諸如口乾舌燥、喉嚨卡卡、眼睛酸澀、耳鳴、怕吵,則通通統稱為「更年期症候群」。
一經確診,要不就是接受荷爾蒙治療,無論是雌激素或大豆異黃酮等的補充,要不就是選擇與各種不適「和平相處」,因為更年期症候群似乎就是女性的原罪!然而事實並非如此啊!近二十年來女性朋友真是白白多走冤枉路,忍受不必要忍受的痛苦了!
熱潮紅、盜汗一定是更年期症狀嗎?
我們先來釐清更年期是怎麼一回事,醫學定義上,女性生理期連續十二個月未發生,子宮與卵巢不再具備生育功能,即稱為更年期。
正常狀態下,更年期每一位女性都會面臨,就如同每一位孩童都會長大面臨青春期一樣,可是這並不代表更年期症候群(各種不舒服)發生的必然,事實上就基因而言,白種人才是更年期症候群的好發族群,黃種人則鮮少有此症狀。
您或您的女性長輩所感受到的種種不適,其實很可能是自律神經失調,而非所謂的更年期症候群,因此即便他們已經接受荷爾蒙療法,情況仍然未見明顯舒緩。
熱潮紅、盜汗也可能是自律神經失調症狀
與男性相較,女性朋友原本就比較容易自律神經失調,根據門診統計,自律神經失調的男女比例約莫為3:7,好發年齡則落在45歲~65歲之間,加上兩種症狀的表徵多有雷同神似,種種巧合誤使更年期幫自律神經失調背了個大黑鍋,也讓年齡稍長的女性失調症患者不容易獲得正確的治療。
自律神經系統講求的是協調性,當我們的大腦欠缺部分神經傳導物質時,系統的協調性就可能出現異常,產生體溫調節不良(所以感覺燥熱、盜汗),情緒緊繃處於戒備狀態(交感神經過亢,壓力荷爾蒙異常分泌,所以容易敏感易怒),其餘像是耳鳴、睡眠障礙、眼睛酸澀、喉嚨卡卡不舒服….等等,也是相同的原因造成。
盜汗、熱潮紅如何緩解?
這是百分之百的生理性症狀,就像感冒、腸胃炎或者蛀牙、骨折等,需要的是專科醫師的專業醫療,而不是放輕鬆、想開點就會好,更不可能單單靠飲食或者居家保健而獲得治癒,打個比方來說吧!蛀牙引起牙痛時,我們應該做的是根管治療還是吃止痛藥呢?
吃止痛藥雖然能暫時緩解,但是根本原因沒有被移除,藥效一過疼痛仍然會出現,根管治療雖然時間較長,可是一旦完成療程,便能確保這顆牙齒的健康…
但蛀牙還有沒有可能再犯?別顆牙齒有沒有可能再蛀牙呢?如果沒有做好口腔保健,當然有此可能,這就好像為什麼有些人會覺得自律神經失調似乎很難根治,或者時常反反覆覆地產生各式各樣的症狀。
想要自律神經不失調,除了急性期(類似牙齒痛)需要以藥物進行治療(補充欠缺的神經傳導物質),更重要的是,在症狀趨緩之後,也要懂得順應生理運行機制調整作息,方是保護自律神經健康平衡的根本之道。
Thanks to the media’s strong propaganda, the medical term “menopause”, which was not familiar to the Taiwanese people more than 30 years ago, is now a part of basic common sense. As long as it is female, it is slightly older (young will also be In the early onset menopause, there are tendencies such as night sweats, hot flashes, irritability and irritability, and it is easy to be asked: "Are you menopausal?"
The various indicator symptoms described above, plus other size and discomfort that are not necessarily everyone's, such as dry mouth, throat kaka, sore eyes, tinnitus, and fear of noisy, are collectively referred to as "menopausal syndrome."
Once diagnosed, whether it is hormone therapy, whether it is supplementation of estrogen or soy isoflavones, or choose to "peaceful" with various discomforts, because menopausal syndrome seems to be the original sin of women! However, this is not the case! In the past two decades, female friends have been walking in vain and suffering from the pain that is unnecessarily endured!
Hot red, night sweats must be menopausal symptoms?
Let us first clarify what is going on in menopause. In medical definition, the female physiological period has not occurred for 12 consecutive months, and the uterus and ovaries no longer have fertility, which is called menopause.
Under normal conditions, every woman in menopause will face it, just as every child will grow up to face puberty, but this does not mean the occurrence of menopausal syndrome (various discomfort). In fact, in terms of genes, Caucasians are The prevalence of menopausal syndrome is rare in the yellow race.
The discomfort you or your female elders feel is actually a self-regulatory disorder, not a so-called menopausal syndrome, so even if they have already received hormone therapy, the situation has not been significantly relieved.
Hot flashes, night sweats may also be symptoms of autonomic nervous disorders
Compared with men, female friends are more likely to have autonomic dysfunction. According to outpatient statistics, the proportion of males and females with autonomic dysfunction is about 3:7, and the age of good hair falls between 45 and 65 years. The characterizations are similar, and all kinds of coincidences make the menopause help the autonomic nervous disorder to carry a big black pot, and also make it easier for the younger women with dysregulation to get the correct treatment.
The autonomic nervous system emphasizes coordination. When our brain lacks some nerve conduction substances, the coordination of the system may be abnormal, resulting in poor regulation of body temperature (so feeling hot, night sweats), and the emotional tension is in a state of alert (sympathetic god) After sputum, the pressure hormone is abnormally secreted, so it is easy to be sensitive and irritated. The rest are like tinnitus, sleep disorders, sore eyes, uncomfortable throat kaka....etc.
How to alleviate night sweats and hot flashes?
This is a 100% physiological symptom, just like a cold, gastroenteritis or tooth decay, fracture, etc. It is the professional medical treatment of a specialist, not easy, it is better to open it, and it is even more difficult to rely solely on diet or home care. Get a cure, let's take an analogy! When tooth decay causes toothache, should we do root canal treatment or painkillers?
Although the painkillers can be temporarily relieved, but the root cause has not been removed, the pain will still appear after the effect of the drug. Although the root canal treatment is longer, once the treatment is completed, the health of the tooth can be ensured...
But is it possible to make another mistake? Is it possible to fang your teeth? If oral health care is not done, of course it is possible, which is why some people think that autonomic dysfunction seems to be difficult to cure, or often to produce a variety of symptoms.
If you want autonomic nerves to be unregulated, in addition to the acute phase (similar to toothache), you need to treat with drugs (supplementing the lack of neurotransmitters), and more importantly, after the symptoms are slowed down, you should also understand the physiological and operational mechanisms to adjust your schedule. Fang is the fundamental way to protect the balance of self-disciplined nerve health.
