Women are more likely to get 5 kinds of gynecological diseases due to high stress. Hurry up and "lower your blood pressure"

In modern fast-paced life, pressure from family, work and other aspects often makes women breathless. Experts point out that women have to balance the dual burdens of work and family and often neglect their own health. Long-term excessive stress on women will lead to a variety of diseases, especially diseases of the female reproductive system.

1. May cause breast disease and cancer

The proportion of young women under 35 years old suffering from breast cancer has accounted for 20% of the breast cancer incidence group, and the increased pressure in work and life of modern women is an important reason for the high incidence of breast diseases. Experts explained that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, psychological and mental factors can affect the internal organs and endocrine system. Many professional women are easily upset due to work pressure. The huge mental pressure may cause endocrine system disorders, making it more likely to develop breast diseases and other gynecological cancers.

2. Primary dysmenorrhea

Primary dysmenorrhea is the result of the combined effects of physiological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. Emotional factors such as depression and anxiety can affect the expression of pain, and people with different personality types have different understandings of menstruation and pain, so their dysmenorrhea symptoms and severity are also different. Some studies have shown that women with dysmenorrhea often show symptoms such as poor self-emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, and introversion, and that women with dysmenorrhea have more traditional femininity than women without dysmenorrhea.

3. Premenstrual syndrome

Premenstrual syndrome refers to the physiological, mental and behavioral changes that women experience before their menstrual period. In severe cases, it affects their life and work. It usually occurs about 10 days before the onset of menstruation. Patients with premenstrual syndrome often have unstable emotions and psychological characteristics such as neurosis, introversion, depression and anxiety, irritability, low self-esteem, poor adaptability, and even suicide. Women with more fragile personality traits often have great difficulty adapting to changes in the environment and are prone to anxiety and feelings of threat.

4. Perimenopausal mental disorders

Women in the "perimenopausal" period are prone to various physical discomforts due to large fluctuations in hormone levels. Coupled with the pressure from various aspects such as marital status, children's issues, work environment, and socioeconomic status, they are prone to emotional instability, irritability, depression, memory loss, decreased work ability, etc., which can lead to perimenopausal mental disorders.

5. Chronic pelvic pain

Some studies have shown that chronic pelvic pain may be caused by emotional disorders such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and no obvious pathological changes and traumatic sexual experiences. Therefore, many women who are under too much stress often develop symptoms such as depression and anxiety, making them more likely to suffer from chronic pelvic pain.

Ways for women to relieve stress

1. Take a deep breath

This is the simplest way to relieve stress and also one of the most effective ones. Deep breathing can lower stress hormones, reduce your elevated heart rate, and ultimately bring your blood pressure down to normal.

2. Meditation

Meditation can relax the mind and body and is a traditional way to relieve stress. Take a few minutes each day to sit quietly and focus your mind on one thing, anything as simple as your breathing, a specific word or mantra. In short, eliminate all distractions and focus your thoughts.

3. Exercise

Do some aerobic exercise to increase your heart rate, such as walking, playing games, running, etc. As long as you make sure you have 20 minutes every day to move yourself and stop thinking about messy things, you can relieve stress. Exercise also boosts the release of brain chemicals called endorphins, which improve your mood, and even light exercise can help you relax. So, try to exercise and make yourself healthier!
