-Comprehensive symptoms are very common
Phenomenon: Miss Wu, who works at the company, said that her father seems to have changed personality recently. He often loses his temper, is restless all day, and can't do anything. She gets angry at trivial things, making her family feel inexplicable.
Expert analysis: This is the most common manifestation of menopausal syndrome. Physiologically speaking, this is caused by autonomic nervous system disorders, often resulting in dizziness, sweating, insomnia, and a lack of appetite.
And the psychological changes are even greater, manifested as inexplicably irritable and prone to nameless anger, especially for men who usually have a good temper, which can lead to unprecedented irritability.
Sometimes during work, one may think excessively and feel restless, feeling inexplicable fear. If one is too nervous, they may experience palpitations, tinnitus, and blackening in front of their eyes. They feel exhausted every day and feel powerless upon arrival at home; If you have already retired at home, you may feel a bit disappointed, feeling like you have nothing to do after retirement, always feeling lost, losing physical strength, and feeling a strong sense of frustration.
-Depression is more dangerous
Phenomenon: Ms. Liu's husband was laid off at home at the age of 53, initially in a good mood and actively looking for a job, but in the past year, his personality has completely changed. Lock yourself up at home all day, keep a calm face, and sometimes shed tears alone. I always say it hurts here and there, but when I go to the hospital for examination, everything is normal.
Expert analysis: If the emotional disorders exhibited by menopausal syndrome are not well controlled, combined with some external pressure, it is easy to further worsen this disorder and escalate into menopausal depression.
Dr. Xu believes that due to differences in social status and responsibilities, the pressure from society, work, and family places an excessive psychological burden on men. And some external influences, such as sudden events such as illness and layoffs, can lead to menopausal depression if one cannot control them well.
Dr. Xu said that although the probability of menopausal syndrome developing into depression is generally only 20%, patients with depression have the highest risk of suicide. Because usually they are not interested in anything, always have a gloomy expression, constantly blaming themselves for not doing well here and doing wrong there.
Physical manifestations can easily go to extremes, either skipping a bite or overeating, especially with poor sleep and inability to sleep at night, making it easy to wake up early.
In addition to feeling depressed, they often suspect that they are sick, feeling uncomfortable and painful everywhere. Although they are fine at the hospital for examination, if they feel slightly uncomfortable, they suspect that they have some incurable disease.
If you find that your husband or father is experiencing this relatively depressed psychological state, it is best to consult a psychologist in a timely manner. However, if he feels uncomfortable, he must go to the hospital for a check-up and diagnosis before determining whether it is a psychological hallucination.
-Controlling emotions and self-regulation
Men over the age of 50 should be aware that they may be entering menopause and consciously control their emotions. It is best to use static braking to maintain psychological stability and eliminate unnecessary tension. Dr. Xu suggests that men who are about to enter menopause should learn some menopausal knowledge, understand the changes in their physiology and psychology, and then take it calmly.
For men who have already entered menopause, controlling emotions first requires learning to control anger. Due to the effects of male hormones, men are already prone to anger, and in addition, menopausal endocrine disorders make them more prone to anger.
Realizing that you are entering menopause, you should deliberately take everything aside, don't fuss over everything, and strive to adjust to optimism and optimism. When dealing with people, be open-minded and be able to afford and let go.
