Menstruation is a way for women to detoxify and can be of great benefit to you. If a woman goes through menopause early, what should she do? If a woman has menopause early, it will not only affect her body but also accelerate her aging. The following editor will introduce to you the causes and treatments of menopause in women over 50 years old. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

There are two causes of amenorrhea: physiological and pathological. The causes of physiological amenorrhea include an imperfect endocrine system, insufficient kidney qi, pregnancy; the blood sea cannot be filled during lactation, and prolactin causes a decrease in sex hormone secretion; and the decline in ovarian function caused by menopause around the age of 50. The cause of pathological amenorrhea is due to congenital defects of the lower end of the genitals, hymen occlusion or acquired injuries causing adhesions, which prevent menstruation from outflowing and form cryptomenorrhea or pseudo-amenorrhea. Ovarian amenorrhea may be caused by congenital absence of ovaries or dysplasia of ovaries, ovarian damage or removal, ovarian tumors, and premature ovarian failure. Pituitary gland damage, pituitary tumors, and primary pituitary hypogonadism can lead to pituitary amenorrhea. Psychiatric and neurological factors include wasting diseases, sex chromosome abnormalities, anemia, obesity, reproductive functional malnutrition, drug suppression syndrome, galactorrhea amenorrhea syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and hypothalamic amenorrhea caused by the influence of other endocrine glands. To treat this disease, it is necessary to differentiate the causes, regulate the Chong and Ren meridians, and adopt the appropriate methods of unblocking and attacking as well as nourishing and replenishing. Traditional therapies are very effective in treating secondary amenorrhea, and primary amenorrhea can also be gradually cured.

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.

7. Treat vaginal dryness. It seems that decreased libido is associated with vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness can cause painful intercourse. There are vaginal lubricants on the market, which come in two types: water-soluble and estrogen-containing. They can lubricate the vagina and solve the problem of vaginal dryness during sexual intercourse.

From a health perspective, some symptoms of menopause are not a big deal. Even more important are the long-term health effects after menopause. Today, women have at least 30 years to live after menopause. These 30 years can be very healthy, happy and enjoyable. However, due to the significant decrease in estrogen levels in the body, the risk of two health-threatening diseases increases significantly. One of them is heart disease. Before menopause, few women die from heart disease. After menopause, the number of women dying from heart disease begins to increase. By age 75, men and women are about the same risk of developing heart disease.

At age 65, about the same number of women die from heart disease as from cancer, and by age 75, heart disease is the leading killer of women. Another major health threat after menopause is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can cause fractures, seriously affecting women's quality of life in their later years. Women's bone density is not as high as men's from birth, and the rate of bone loss after menopause is faster than that of men. This is why many women develop osteoporosis after age 65. Therefore, it is important that women recognize these risks and begin prevention before menopause. Good health habits are the best way to prevent heart disease and osteoporosis.

The above are the causes and treatments of menopause in women over 50 years old. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Finally, I wish you all stay younger and healthier.
