What is the age of menopause?

Many women think that as long as they still have their periods it means they are still women, and once they reach menopause they will quickly enter decline, so the later the menopause the better. Is this view correct? Today I would like to share some questions about menopause timing, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Method/Process

1

First of all, I want to tell you clearly that the normal menopause age for women is between 45 and 50 years old. If you go through menopause before the age of 40, it indicates premature ovarian failure. If you haven't gone through menopause after the age of 55, there may be something wrong with the body's estrogen metabolism. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.

What are the harms of having menstruation after the age of menopause?

Menopause is not the later the better. Women who have not reached menopause beyond the normal age have a relatively higher risk of ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer.

3

Because menstruation is caused by the secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, which stimulates the uterine wall to bleed, and women over 55 years old who still have menstruation may mean that the ovaries are functioning abnormally, and the chance of developing ovarian cancer is relatively higher than that of women who have menopause at normal age.

4

In addition, because the uterine wall sheds more frequently than other women, their risk of endometrial cancer will also increase. The occurrence of breast cancer is also related to the metabolism level of female hormones. Excessive estrogen metabolism levels can stimulate breast tumors.

There are certain benefits for women to go through menopause at an appropriate age. In addition to reducing the incidence of some tumors, uterine fibroids will gradually shrink and the physiological swelling and pain in the breasts will subside in many women after menopause.

What should women do when they enter menopause?

1. Ensure adequate sleep: pay attention to rest, ensure eight hours of quality sleep every day, do less strenuous work, prevent fatigue, and avoid staying up late.

2. Regulate your emotions: Maintain a comfortable mood, avoid anxiety and restlessness, and be good at confiding in family and friends when encountering problems. Don't always bury depression in your heart.

3. Proper exercise: Women who enter menopause are more prone to osteoporosis. Maintaining proper exercise can exercise the joints, but avoid excessive exercise.

4. Scientific diet: The diet should be light in taste, reduce salt intake, and reduce cholesterol and foods containing oleic acid.
