When do menopause symptoms end? Dalimchae Clinic lights the way.

Hello. This is Dalimchae Clinic. # When do menopause symptoms end? Dalimchae Clinic lights the way through the long and difficult tunnel. Are you confused by sudden changes in your body? Hot flashes and sweating that keep you up at night, mood swings that flare up at any time, and feeling depressed or lethargic for no reason. All of these can be signs of **menopause symptoms**. Many people are going through a difficult time with vague anxiety, wondering, "When will these symptoms end?" Menopause is not just a natural process of aging, but an important period that brings major changes to a woman's life, and the quality of the rest of your life can change significantly depending on how you manage it. 💡 **[Key Answer]** The 3 most common causes of the question **"When do menopause symptoms end?"**: ① Decrease in female hormones (estrogen) / ② Autonomic nervous system disturbance / ③ Mental stress and anxiety Dalimchae Clinic helps you recover degraded bodily functions through **constitutional improvement** and naturally adapt to changes in your body caused by hormonal imbalances. ## Is menopause simply a period that "passes if you endure it"? The saying "everyone goes through it, so you just have to endure it" is not a great comfort to women struggling with menopause. Menopause is primarily caused by a decrease in estrogen due to declining ovarian function, but this can lead to disturbances in the overall autonomic nervous system and even a decline in immunity. Facial flushing, sweating, insomnia, anxiety, and depression that appear during this period seriously interfere with daily life and lower the quality of life. Especially, sleepless nights and feeling frustrated and anxious for no reason can make menopause feel like a long and painful tunnel. Dalimchae Clinic Incheon Branch does not see menopause symptoms as just a hormone problem, but focuses on fundamental treatment to restore the balance of the entire body. ## Why are menopause symptoms so diverse and unpredictable? Menopause symptoms vary greatly in appearance, intensity, and duration for each individual. This is because the body's response to changes in female hormones is different, and the balance of the autonomic nervous system is affected by usual lifestyle habits, stress levels, and constitution. Some women pass through it relatively lightly, while others suffer from severe pain for several years. During the menopause period, the blood vessel motor control function weakens due to the decrease in female hormones, worsening facial flushing and sweating, and imbalance in the nervous system can be accompanied by insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches, and dizziness. According to a study conducted in Korea, about 80% of menopausal women experience various menopause symptoms, and about 20% are found to experience symptoms severe enough to interfere with daily life. These symptoms are not just temporary discomforts, but warning signs that can lead to larger health problems such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease in the long run. ## How does Oriental medicine view and treat menopause? (Constitutional improvement of Dalimchae Clinic Incheon Branch) At Dalimchae Clinic Incheon Branch, we understand menopause not as a simple aging phenomenon, but as a systemic symptom that occurs when the body's balance is broken. In particular, we see the imbalance of the autonomic nervous system as a key factor that worsens menopause symptoms. Our body's autonomic nervous system is responsible for essential functions for maintaining life, such as heartbeat, blood pressure, temperature regulation, and digestion, and during menopause, this autonomic nervous system becomes unstable due to hormonal changes, resulting in various symptoms. From this perspective, Dalimchae Clinic treats the root of menopause symptoms through **constitutional improvement**. Our goal is not just to turn off the symptoms, but to create a body where they don't turn on again. It is a treatment that reinforces weakened ovarian function and restores the balance of the autonomic nerves to help the body adapt to external changes on its own and maintain a stable state. We use herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion according to the individual's constitution and symptoms to facilitate the circulation of Qi and blood in the body and stabilize the mind and body exhausted by stress. ## Is herbal treatment for menopause effective? Check it with actual research results. Herbal treatment for menopause has been shown to be effective beyond simple symptomatic treatment in increasing fundamental adaptability to physical changes caused by hormonal imbalances. **In a study by Kang Jae-hee et al. published in the <Journal of Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology> in 2019**, herbal treatment was applied for 8 weeks to 60 women experiencing menopause symptoms, and as a result, the menopause index (Kupperman Index) including facial flushing, sweating, insomnia, and depression significantly improved from an average of 30.5 points before treatment to 15.2 points after treatment (p\<0.001). In particular, high satisfaction was shown in the improvement of emotional changes and insomnia symptoms, and the researchers concluded that herbal treatment has a positive effect on alleviating menopause symptoms and improving quality of life. These results support that the constitutional improvement treatment pursued by Dalimchae Clinic can bring practical changes to the lives of menopausal women. Also, **in a paper by Lee Jung-hoon et al. published in the <Journal of Menopausal Medicine> in 2021**, the effect of acupuncture treatment on alleviating facial flushing and sweating symptoms in menopausal women was analyzed. This study divided 88 menopausal women into two groups, one group received acupuncture treatment twice a week for 12 weeks, and the other group received placebo acupuncture treatment. As a result of the study, the frequency and intensity of facial flushing significantly decreased statistically in the group that received actual acupuncture treatment compared to the placebo group (p\<0.05), and also showed a positive effect on improving sleep quality. The researchers suggested that acupuncture treatment can be a safe and effective complementary therapy for managing menopause symptoms. As such, Dalimchae Clinic provides a more effective solution for those struggling with menopause symptoms by combining herbal medicine with acupuncture. We strive to provide treatment based on these scientific grounds to those looking for an Incheon menopause clinic. ## How far has my menopause progressed?
