What are the consequences of premature menopause? These disadvantages are scary.

Some women are physically weak and have poor resistance, so they will experience premature menopause. This is abnormal. In addition to the body no longer ovulating and secreting estrogen, there will be many other effects, such as osteoporosis and rapid decline in ovarian function.

1. Osteoporosis is caused by the decline of ovarian function and the decrease of estrogen levels, which affects the deposition of calcium in the bones, so it is easy to cause osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can now be detected and diagnosed early through bone density measurement.

Countermeasures: No safe and effective method has been found to rebuild already porous bone. Drug treatment can only slow down or stop bone loss. Therefore, for osteoporosis, prevention is more important than treatment. For example, increase exercise, especially regular weight-bearing exercise; pay attention to calcium-rich diet, such as milk, soy products, dried fruits, cauliflower, radish, cabbage, etc., and supplement calcium and vitamin D when necessary; develop good living habits, do not smoke, drink less alcohol, do not drink coffee, and get more sun exposure; pay attention to self-protection and avoid falls.

2. Urogenital system diseases Due to low estrogen levels, the female urogenital system will undergo a series of degenerative and atrophic changes. For example, thinning of the vaginal epithelium and relaxation of the pelvic muscles can cause the urethra and bladder to shift; thinning of the vaginal mucosa, low resistance and prone to infection, can cause atrophic cystitis, urinary incontinence, urethritis, senile vaginitis, etc.

Countermeasures: For urinary and reproductive system diseases caused by this, prevention and treatment should be combined. Topical estrogen ointment and hormone replacement therapy can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections and senile vaginitis, and can also prevent common diseases of the urogenital system. Kegel exercises and pelvic floor muscle exercises can improve urinary system symptoms. In addition, you should pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean, change underwear frequently; insist on participating in proper exercise to enhance physical fitness and delay aging. Surgical treatment can be performed for patients with uterine prolapse, prolapse of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls (bladder, rectum) and urination disorders.

3. Cardiovascular disease Estrogen can increase the elasticity of blood vessels, making them less likely to harden and become blocked. Therefore, the decrease in estrogen levels caused by early menopause can cause abnormal blood lipid metabolism and make cardiovascular disease more likely to occur.
