How to treat menopausal night sweats? The method is actually very simple

Many people will experience night sweats when they reach menopause, which is a reflection of changes in the body. In order to solve this problem, there are many targeted methods nowadays, such as doing more physical exercise, adjusting the diet structure reasonably, and developing good living habits.

1. Physical exercise

For women who often sweat during menopause, in addition to paying attention to dietary adjustments, they should also pay special attention to developing the habit of regular exercise in their daily lives. As the saying goes, life lies in movement. Only regular exercise can effectively improve the quality of life. Especially for menopausal people, it can also effectively alleviate various menopausal syndromes. There is a large amount of data research showing that women who lack physical exercise are more likely to experience hot flashes and sweating.

Therefore, we must pay attention to regular exercise in our daily life, which can effectively enhance our physical fitness. Also, be sure to choose the appropriate exercise method. It is best to exercise before sunrise or after sunset to avoid excessive sweating.

2. Adjust your daily life

Paying more attention to the adjustment of daily life in daily life can also help menopausal women effectively relieve various discomfort symptoms, especially for menopausal hot flashes and sweating. First of all, we should pay attention to adjusting the temperature and humidity of the living environment, which can effectively relieve symptoms such as hot flashes during menopause in women. For example, women with yin deficiency and blood heat should live in a slightly cooler environment, or use a cool mat in advance in hot seasons.

In addition, you should also pay attention to keeping your bedding and pajamas clean. It is best to dry them in the sun or wash them frequently. In daily life, you should also develop the habit of taking regular baths to reduce the irritation of sweat to the skin. When faced with the problem of sweating during menopause, scientific arrangements for daily life are also very important.

3. Hormone replacement

For people who often experience hot flashes and sweating during menopause, various hormone drugs can also be used to achieve certain therapeutic effects at this time. Especially for people with severe sweating, hormone replacement therapy may be considered. However, the use of hormones has strict indications and contraindications, so you must obtain the guidance and advice of a doctor before taking the medication.

4. Adjust your diet

The reason why menopausal women are prone to hot flashes, sweating, etc. is that it is very important to pay more attention to replenishing body fluids in daily life. Only in this way can the sweating phenomenon be effectively relieved. There are many foods in our life that have the effect of replenishing body fluids, such as watermelon, pear, lettuce, loofah, lily, fresh lotus root, etc. Regular consumption can nourish yin and reduce fire, promote body fluid production and quench thirst. As for meat, experts remind menopausal women to eat less red meat as much as possible, and it is better to eat more cold foods such as duck meat. Alternatively, you can also stew duck meat with lily, adenophora, etc., which is more effective for menopausal symptoms.

The following are specific methods for regulating menopausal sweating through diet:

(1) Drink less coffee

Studies have shown that caffeine can cause hot flashes because it dilates blood vessels.

(2) Reduce salt intake

Due to endocrine changes, menopausal women may experience edema and high blood pressure, so their daily salt intake should be controlled at 3 to 5 grams.

(3) Ensure that your daily diet is rich in isoflavones and boron

Low estrogen levels can cause discomfort, and isoflavones and boron can act like estrogen. Consuming 30 to 50 mg of isoflavones from plant sources (such as tofu and soy milk) daily, as well as eating boron-rich foods such as apples, sweet peas, and grapes, can prevent estrogen levels from decreasing.

(4) Eat as much fish, shrimp and beans as possible

Protein is related to the construction and repair of human tissues and the maintenance of immune function. But please note that terrestrial animal meat usually contains a lot of saturated fat, which can make you gain weight. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the intake of terrestrial animal meat and use low-fat dairy products, beans, fish and shrimp as the main sources of protein.

(5) Increase calcium and iron intake

The estrogen level in menopausal women decreases, and the anabolism of bone tissue decreases, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis and increasing the incidence of fractures. In addition, women who consume 1,000 mg of calcium per day can reduce diastolic blood pressure by about 6%. Calcium can also maintain the excitability of nerves and muscles. Therefore, menopausal women should regularly eat foods high in calcium, with a daily calcium supply of no less than 1000 mg.
