My name is Wong Siu Ping, and I am 51 years old.
Actually, before my periods stopped, I didn't know I had these menopausal symptoms. Because at that time, it was usually just sweating and getting irritable easily, not sleeping well, usually just these things.
It wasn't until my periods actually stopped that I went to ask the doctor, and the doctor went through something like a checklist with me. Then he told me that the stage I am currently entering, is already the menopausal stage.
Actually, after seeing the GP, the GP suggested many different types of advice for me. He suggested that I try things like meditation, relax as much as possible, and try not to get too stressed.
I found that the most important thing is finding the right hobby for yourself. Like for me, it's doing pottery and painting, or sometimes playing with Waffle and his toys, then you won't need to focus on the symptoms so much. Then you can feel more relaxed and comfortable.
If there are women with menopausal symptoms similar to mine, please don't be afraid, you definitely need to consult your trusted GP. Your GP will certainly refer you to some specialists, and will also provide some Cantonese materials for you, so you can have a preliminary understanding.
