How to maintain ovaries after hysterectomy

Many experts tell us that when women reach around 40 years old, they need to start taking care of their ovaries. There are many ways to do this, including taking health supplements that are beneficial to the ovaries, or following some dietary therapy. Today we are going to talk about how another group of women should take care of their ovaries. They have had their uterus removed due to illness, so how should they take care of their ovaries?

1. To maintain the ovaries, you need to conform to the cyclical changes of the ovaries: the ovaries have the follicular phase, ovulatory phase and luteal phase in a menstrual cycle. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the yin and yang, qi and blood in the body are in different states during different stages of the menstrual cycle. For example, if the period after the menstrual period is dominated by yin, you should not warm the yang excessively, but should nourish the yin and blood quietly.

In terms of food, it is advisable to eat light and nourishing food, such as beans and tubers; the period before menstruation is a period of yang growth, so you can eat some warming food or medicine appropriately, and increase exercise to make the qi and blood flow smoothly, and menstruation come on time, etc.

2. To maintain the ovaries, you need to base your physique on the characteristics of your constitution: Chinese medicine believes that people's constitutions can be divided into yin, yang, cold, heat, deficiency, excess, and partial excess. The foods we eat can also be tonic, purgative, cold, or hot. For example, some female friends have a hot constitution but are not weak. In order to maintain the ovaries, they take some warm and nourishing foods such as donkey-hide gelatin, walnuts, sesame, etc. for a long time or in large quantities, which will make the heat or damp heat in the body worse. Instead, symptoms of menstrual disorders and body "heat" appear.

3. Maintaining the physical and mental health of the ovaries is the most important thing: a healthy lifestyle and a good attitude are better than any other method to maintain ovarian function. Women's reproductive endocrine is affected by the cerebral cortex. People who are long-term tired, mentally stressed or depressed will also have their cerebral cortex suppressed, which can directly affect women's endocrine function.

This article tells us that everyone has individual differences, and the maintenance of the ovaries will also be different. Especially for women who have had their uterus removed, they should pay more attention to the maintenance of the ovaries, but the maintenance methods are different from those of healthy women. It is best to communicate with your attending physician before choosing the maintenance method that suits you.
