When a woman reaches menopause, the so-called "amenorrhea syndrome" will appear because the female hormone in her body stops growing. Symptoms include paroxysmal blush and fever, especially when sleeping at night, the mood changes greatly; In the environment of sudden changes in temperature, patients often have a sudden burst of dry heat all over their body, sweating a lot and getting wet through their clothes.
Generally speaking, men will not have a sudden decrease in male hormones throughout their lives, so there will be no similar symptoms.
However, if prostate cancer patients have received male hormone therapy, including monthly injection or orchiectomy, about 60% of patients will also have symptoms similar to female menopausal "amenorrhea syndrome" due to the decrease of male hormone. If these annoying symptoms occur at night, they may affect sleep; If it happens during the day when going out, suddenly blushing and neck thick, or bean-sized sweat drops from the forehead, it will make people embarrassed, and even affect the social activities of the patient.
In fact, this is not really a disease, or prostate cancer is worsening, but the hypothalamus in the brain, which is responsible for regulating the temperature center, is overreacting because there is no subtle regulation of male hormones. When the room temperature rises, such as walking from the air-conditioned room to the outside, or in a slightly hot quilt, or when the mood is stimulated, normal people will only dilate their capillaries and sweat a little unconsciously, but such patients will have a large expansion of blood vessels, a large amount of night sweat, and a thick face and neck.
It is not difficult to treat the disease clinically. As long as the patient takes a small amount of drugs such as lutein or anti-female hormone every day, it can relieve about 80% of the symptoms, restore the patient's confidence and improve the quality of sleep. The quality of life of cancer patients has become more and more important in modern society. If patients have uncomfortable symptoms, they should not be ashamed to speak up. Family members can also pay more attention to the phenomenon of disturbing patients' daily life and give them timely help.
