Nakamura: The last talk session is about "menopause". Do you have any concerns about menopause?

Ito: As a matter of fact, I don't know what symptoms the menopause is. When you hear that you can't control your emotions and that your pretition is greater than that of "physiology", you are anxious and scared about what your body will be.

Nakamura: If you are a woman who experiences menstruation, you enter menopause and have different symptoms after age. Mr. Yoshida, would you like to explain about menopause again.

Yoshida: Menopause is a symptom caused by a decrease in female hormone called "estrogen", which I mentioned in a talk about "physiology". Symptoms appear different from person to person, but from late 40s to late 50s, menstrual menstruation decreases, and symptoms such as hot flash appear one after another as the cycle becomes irregular. Diagnosis can be difficult because it may not be caused solely by hormones, but as a treatment, it can be cured by supplementing hormones.

Nakamura: There are various symptoms in menopause, and "Is this menopause? It seems that there are many women who are worried about "PMS". It is a menopause with various symptoms, but it is important to have a gynecology test without endure.

Yoshida: You can also test the level of estrogen, so it is very important to have the test.

Ito: There are various symptoms for menopause, so I sometimes don't know if it's internal medicine, psychosomatic medicine, or which hospital to see. I don't think there are many people who are worried by themselves.

Yoshida: That's right. First of all, it is recommended that you visit an obstetrics and gynecology department.

Nakamura: It is also important to have a medical examination to know that you are healthy. Rather than consulting a hospital after something happens, I would like you to take measures such as finding a GP in advance. Finally, please give me a message to everyone.

Yoshida: Early detection and early treatment of diseases such as cervical cancer is very important. If you have any concerns, I would like you to go to an obstetrics and gynecology department or have a cancer screening so that you do not see the sad face of a woman. I would like to continue working as a doctor so that you can see your happy face.

Ito: By talking about menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, etc., I felt again that women's body is really changing. But now it is an era where people can share information with many people and expand their options. If there is at least one woman who is worried, I would like you to increase such options.
