How can women prevent menopause?

If you want to prevent menopause, the best way is to always observe your menstrual changes. If your menstruation often shows abnormal reactions, you should find a suitable method to improve it. Only when your menstruation is at a normal level can you prevent menopausal problems. Your daily diet should also be balanced, and you must not be picky about food.

Prevention and Improvement

Pay special attention to menstrual changes. If the menstrual period is prolonged for too long, the menstrual flow is too heavy, or vaginal bleeding or increased leucorrhea occurs after menopause, you should ask a doctor to check so as to detect menopausal cervical polyps, cervical cancer and other diseases as early as possible.

● Maintain mental health. As we age, the cerebral cortex is in a state of tension for a long time, which can cause mental, endocrine, and visceral dysfunction. Therefore, we should keep our emotions stable, and do not get annoyed, anxious, or angry when encountering things. We must not be anxious or restless.

● Pay attention to a proper diet and nutrition. During menopause, due to the gradual decline of organ functions, the spleen and stomach are unable to transport and transform food. Therefore, the diet should be “three lows, two highs and one appropriate”, that is, low in calories, low in fat, low in sugars, high in protein, high in vitamins, and appropriate minerals.

Choose appropriate sports according to your physical condition, and proceed step by step, do what you can and persevere.
