TCM Meets Western Menopause Care

What if menopause wasn't a decline, but a"second spring"? Dr Wendy Wong explains how traditional Chinese medicine views menopause through the "kidney battery" and yin-yang balance, comparing it to the Western hormonal model of declining estrogen and progesterone. She covers why Hong Kong women often report fatigue and sleep disturbance over hot flushes, the silent risks of osteoporosis and breast cancer, and how food, herbs, acupuncture and lifestyle can integrate safely alongside Western screening and care.
