What are the dangers of menopausal syndrome

People are actually not aware of the harm of menopausal syndrome to the human body, so even if they suffer from menopausal syndrome, they don’t care too much. However, there are some different changes in their bodies, especially their breasts begin to shrink, and even feel a little sagging. This is a fatal blow to female friends. Many female friends will feel particularly inferior after discovering this situation, and thus they will feel reluctant to go out.

Degeneration of sexual characteristics and atrophy of genitals: dry vulva, loss of pubic hair, white lesions, vulva itching, secondary infection, sexual dysfunction, bladder, rectal prolapse, uterine prolapse, etc. Some women develop masculinization symptoms such as hirsutism, seborrheic dermatitis, and acne.

2. Breast atrophy, sagging, and hypopigmentation of the nipple and areola: the breast firmness decreases and the tissue becomes soft and sagging.

Menopausal women are prone to depression, forgetfulness, obsessive-compulsive ideas, paranoia, emotional inversion, emotional instability, persecution delusions, anxiety, suspicion, abnormal sensations, sense of incompetence and world-weariness, and some even develop mania, disordered thinking and schizophrenia.

Endocrine and metabolic changes
