When is the age of menopause for women?

As people age, their bodies will change. As time goes by, people's metabolism slows down and cell renewal slows down. So at this time, we will change. Just like girls will experience many changes. When they reach a certain age, they will experience menopause. At this time, girls will enter menopause and their emotions will become more irritable. Today, let's take a look at when it is normal to have menopause.

How far is menopause from women?

According to a new survey, more and more women around 40 years old in cities in my country are experiencing menopause, and menopause is gradually becoming a killer of modern women's health. Due to extensive participation in fierce social competition and facing tremendous work pressure, women's menopausal symptoms are generally advanced, and menopause around the age of 35 to 40 is common, and the trend of younger menopause is becoming more and more serious. Faced with this situation, experts warn that modern urban women should "practice" this "sutra" well, learn to retain this "sutra" and avoid the premature "end" of menstruation.

According to normal physiological laws, women's ovarian function reaches its peak between the ages of 25 and 35. After the age of 35, their ovarian function begins to decline. However, in this "downhill" process, some people "go downhill" quickly, and their estrogen levels drop to menopausal levels by the age of 40, while some people "go downhill" slowly, and do not reach menopause until the age of 55. For women who "go downhill" quickly, if they stop menstruating before the age of 40, this is considered premature ovarian failure. However, among the patients who come for treatment, there are more and more women in the age group of 35 to 40 years old.

There are many reasons why women's menstruation "ends" early: first of all, this is related to the low popularity of women's health knowledge. In addition, with the great changes in the living environment, the decline in food and environmental quality, the reduction in physical labor, and the excessive intake of protein, fat, etc., the normal regularity of women's menstruation will be affected to varying degrees. Secondly, it has a certain relationship with the reproductive status: that is, the older the age of the first pregnancy, the earlier the menopause; the fewer the number of pregnancies, the earlier the menopause. This is because the older the age of first pregnancy, the fewer pregnancies, which leads to more ovulations in a woman's lifetime and earlier menopause. In addition, the longer the breastfeeding period, the later the menopause. This is because women's ovulation will be suppressed during lactation. The longer the lactation period, the less ovulation frequency, and the later the menopause. Conversely, the shorter the lactation period, the earlier the menopause.

In addition, the longer you take oral contraceptives, the later the menopause will be. This is because oral contraceptives, as exogenous female hormones, can inhibit ovulation and lead to late menopause. Furthermore, due to the fierce competition in modern society, women's psychological burden has greatly increased and their mental stress is unprecedentedly serious, so it is not surprising that severe menopausal symptoms appear on a large scale among white-collar women. A questionnaire survey shows that among white-collar women aged 30 to 40, 27% have hidden menopause to varying degrees, which seriously affects their lives and work with their families. Women who are more introverted or have a more affluent life tend to have higher demands on life. The more they think, the more psychological trauma will affect physiological and endocrine changes.

The female reproductive system has its own internal rules, from no menstruation in childhood to the onset of menstruation in puberty, to regular changes in the menstrual cycle for a considerable period of time, to menstruation becoming disordered during menopause and some even experiencing severe menopausal reactions, and finally becoming a postmenopausal woman by the age of fifty or sixty.

If you experience symptoms such as endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, breast hyperplasia, physical and mental fatigue, weight gain, irritability and insomnia, dry skin, dull hair, bone and joint pain, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination in time to prevent serious consequences.

After menopause, estrogen secretion decreases, which can cause degenerative changes in the entire reproductive organs. The volume of organ tissues decreases, weight decreases, blood vessels decrease, epithelium atrophies, interstitial fibrosis occurs, and adipose tissue also decreases. What follows is an obvious atrophy of the vulva, sparse and white pubic hair, flattening of the labia majora due to reduced fat, and shrinkage of the labia minora and clitoris. The vulvar skin becomes dry due to decreased sebaceous gland function. The external urethral opening and the anterior vaginal wall retract to the top of the vaginal entrance, which makes it easy for urinary tract infections to occur. The vagina changes from acidic to alkaline, the resistance decreases, and vaginitis is more likely to occur. In addition to the vulva and vagina, the uterus and ovaries may also shrink.

Not only that, symptoms such as sweating, insomnia, headache, unstable blood pressure, palpitations, bone and joint pain will also follow, and it may also cause osteoporosis, abnormal blood lipid metabolism, sexual dysfunction, frequent urination, urgency, etc., which are more harmful to women's health.

Kind tips:

1. In addition to busy work, female friends should take more time to care for their bodies and have regular gynecological examinations every year.

2. In terms of living habits, we should insist on drinking milk, eating fish, shrimp and other foods regularly, exercising regularly, and promoting a healthy and beneficial lifestyle, especially quitting smoking in public places and at home, and eliminating passive smoking. In addition, breastfeeding is encouraged after childbirth, and the breastfeeding period should be extended as much as possible; women of childbearing age can use oral contraceptives to avoid the health hazards of early menopause.

3. Mentally, stay optimistic, smile often or even laugh. This is a whole-body stress reliever that can help reduce worry, tension and stress.

4. Diet and sleep should be done on schedule. Women in this period have lost their memory due to long-term excessive brain use. They also have symptoms such as slow reaction, nervous tension, palpitations and weakness. Pay attention to eating brain-boosting foods such as walnuts, peanuts, pine nuts, cashews, etc., and eat less greasy food. The diet mainly consists of lean meat, fish, skim milk, vegetables and fruits. In addition, you should also eat more soy products and sesame seeds containing phytoestrogens; drink soy milk 2 to 3 times a week to replenish estrogen in the body.

Early menopause is no longer a strange topic, which has sounded the alarm for the current health status of modern women. How far is "menopause" from us? Women should learn to cherish themselves. Only in this way can health always be with us.

Through the article’s introduction to the age of menopause in women, I believe we all know that women’s menopause occurs in their 50s or 60s. Everyone will get old, but in order to delay the time of menopause, we must strengthen maintenance, develop good living habits, pay more attention to diet, eat soybeans frequently, and exercise more. I hope everyone is beautiful, so that girls will be more confident.
