Is it better to have menopause early or late and what to pay attention to

Menopause is something every woman goes through. Menopause refers to the decline of ovarian function and the cessation of menstruation. Menopause can be divided into natural menopause and artificial menopause. Many women will experience symptoms such as infrequent menstruation, sudden menopause, and menstrual cycle disorders, and may even experience a significant decline in ovarian function until menstruation stops, causing great harm to women's physical and mental health. Many people don’t know much about it. Below I will give you a detailed introduction on whether early or late menopause is better and what to pay attention to.

Menopause before the age of 40 is medically known as "early menopause", while menopause after the age of 55 is called "late menopause". Neither early menopause nor late menopause is good.

Women who experience premature menopause are more likely to suffer from "menopausal syndrome" due to the premature decrease in sex hormone levels. They are more likely to have unstable mental and psychological states, which affects the quality of family life. More importantly, women who go through menopause prematurely are prone to high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and are more susceptible to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, they should pay great attention to a healthy diet, have regular physical examinations, and exercise appropriately.

Women who enter menopause too late should of course be vigilant. Because women who have not reached menopause after the age of 55 have long had high hormone levels in their bodies, which increases the risk of endometrial cancer and breast cancer. Women who are over 55 and have not yet reached menopause must go to the hospital regularly for B-ultrasound examination of the endometrium (and endometrial biopsy if necessary), as well as breast B-ultrasound, to prevent problems before they occur.

In developed Western countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, many women enter menopause at the age of 53 or later, so the rate of breast cancer is higher than in developing countries.

Note:

1. Wear multiple layers of clothing, preferably cotton. If you get hot flashes, take off your outer clothing. Also, drink a glass of cool water or cold juice when a hot flash starts.

2. Wear cotton pajamas and keep the bedroom cool. Put extra sheets on your bed. When hot flashes occur, wet the top sheet and remove it.

3. Pay attention to your diet, don’t drink alcohol or eat spicy food.

4. Keep exercising. Some women find that regular exercise can lessen the effects of hot flashes and help them sleep better.

5. Eat more tofu. Beans contain a substance from the same family as estrogen that may help relieve symptoms like hot flashes. You can also drink cool soy milk when hot flashes start.

6. Be patient. The symptom of menopause is "the rabbit's tail - it won't grow longer". It will gradually disappear within 3-5 years at most.

The above has introduced in detail whether early or late menopause is better and the precautions. I believe everyone knows about it. Women may experience some gynecological diseases during menopause. Therefore, once women find symptoms of menopause, they should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. Make your body get better faster and devote yourself better to work and life.
