What to do if ovarian atrophy

The ovaries play an extremely important role in a woman's life; the power of a woman's life comes from her ovaries. The process from puberty to sexual maturity and then to menopause is all dominated by the ovaries. The most important function of the ovaries is to produce eggs and secrete female estrogen, progesterone and a small amount of testosterone. Estrogen determines women's physiological characteristics, but as we age, the function of the ovaries will gradually weaken and the secretion of estrogen will decrease, which will affect our appearance, causing the skin to become loose and fine lines to appear. Most women over 40 years old experience symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, sweating, and emotional instability due to ovarian dysfunction and decreased estrogen, which causes metabolic disorders and affects the autonomic nervous system. The decline of ovarian function also greatly affects the life of couples. Because of vaginal dryness, insufficient lubrication and decreased sexual desire, not only sexual life is affected, but also the vaginal mucosa is damaged, and bacterial infection may induce vaginitis.

To delay aging and postpone menopause, the ovaries play a major role. If you want to maintain your ovaries in your daily life, you should first do the simplest and most important thing, which is to stay happy and cheerful and do more exercise.

In order to prevent ovarian atrophy, female friends can use the following methods to delay ovarian aging:

1. Strengthen your own health care. It is necessary to increase exercise appropriately, persevere and proceed step by step, which is beneficial to promote metabolism and blood circulation and delay organ aging.

2. Maintain a harmonious sex life, which can enhance confidence in life, improve mood, relieve psychological stress, and benefit ovarian function and endocrine system.

3. Do not take ovulation drugs frequently to prevent premature ovarian failure. Whether the occurrence of ovarian tumors is related to ovulation drugs is still under debate, so it is best not to take them if necessary.

4. Pay attention to nutritional balance, pay attention to calcium supplementation, and eat some plant estrogens, such as soy milk, tofu, and soy products.

How to maintain your ovaries

Menstruation is vaginal bleeding caused by the periodic shedding of the endometrium due to cyclical changes in ovarian hormones. If menstruation is delayed or the amount of menstruation is abnormal, it may indicate ovarian dysfunction. Therefore, if you want to regulate your menstruation, you must first protect your ovaries.

1. Eating foods containing estrogen

Regularly consuming foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as soybeans, lentils, cereals, wheat, black rice, sunflower seeds, onions, etc., is the safest way to supplement phytoestrogens. Long-term persistence can effectively improve ovarian health.

2. Avoid sitting for long periods of time

Women must avoid sitting for long periods of time. Sitting posture directly affects the blood microcirculation of the ovaries in the pelvic reproductive organs, hinders the nutrient supply to the ovarian tissue, and affects the normal function of the ovaries over time.

3. Maintain a good mood

Women must avoid being overly emotional and learn to maintain a long-term happy mood. This is a science. Long-term depression and discomfort in women will directly affect their breasts and ovaries. The liver meridian in traditional Chinese medicine passes directly through the breasts, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The breasts and ovaries are connected. Long-term liver qi stagnation will inevitably directly affect ovarian function.

While shouldering tremendous pressure, we must learn to combine work and rest and relax our body and mind. Strengthen physical exercise. Yoga, swimming and brisk walking are important ways to release physical and mental stress and maintain the ovaries.

4. Scientific life

To avoid premature ovarian failure, we must adhere to a scientific lifestyle, promote breastfeeding after childbirth, and try to extend the breastfeeding period. Women should drink more milk, eat more fish, shrimp and other foods, and develop good habits of exercising. Pay special attention to quitting smoking in public places and at home, reducing passive smoking, and not drinking alcohol.

Pay attention to your diet and daily routine during menstruation. If a woman suffers from dysmenorrhea, she can brew 3 slices of ginger with brown sugar water and drink it twice a day. This can relieve dysmenorrhea. During this period, she should not eat cold or spicy food, keep a light diet, have a regular work and rest schedule, and not stay up all night.

5. Low sugar and low salt diet

Excessive sugar can cause mood swings and anxiety; excessive salt is not conducive to the excretion of water in the body, affecting the normal ovulation of the ovaries and causing irregular menstruation. Therefore, women should control their sugar and salt intake in daily life.
