Lili Huang
Menopause is a natural phase of life for women as part of biological ageing, but experiences vary hugely. The most common symptoms are vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats, sleep disturbances. Other symptoms includes low mood and anxiety, weight gain, reduced sex drive, poor cognitive performance and so on. These symptoms appear as results of fluctuations and
subsequent reduced production of the ovarian hormones, affecting the quality of life for a lot of woman.
The current lecture will cover the following issues:
How this transition period arises in both western medicine and TCM perspective;
What clinical symptoms and signs are during this period;
The current clinical managements are highlighted such as MHT (menopausal hormonal therapy) and TCM;
How to navigate this period properly in order to improve quality of life for individuals, including the adjustment of lifestyles in advance.
During the seminar, group discussion will be also arranged to enable the participants to share the experiences dealing with menopause during the daily practice.
