Normal menopause age and precautions

Menopause is something every woman goes through. Menopause refers to the decline of ovarian function and the cessation of menstruation. Menopause can be divided into natural menopause and artificial menopause. Many women will experience symptoms such as infrequent menstruation, sudden menopause, and menstrual cycle disorders, and may even experience a significant decline in ovarian function until menstruation stops, causing great harm to women's physical and mental health. Many people don’t know much about it. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the normal menopause age and precautions.

Studies have shown that the age of menopause in women varies greatly from person to person. Generally speaking, the most important factor that determines the age of menopause in women is the number of oocytes. When every baby girl is born, her ovaries have approximately one million oocytes. As she ages, the number of oocytes in her body gradually decreases. When the number of oocytes decreases to a critical number, menopause will occur, which is the menopausal age for the woman. Data show that the average menopause age for women in different regions varies. It is 52 years old for women in Europe and the United States, 50 years old for women in Asia, and 48 years old for women in Africa. In addition, the average menopause age for women in dry and cold areas is earlier than that for women in warm and humid areas; the average menopause age for women in high-altitude areas is earlier than that for women in low-altitude areas.

Generally speaking, women who are short, underweight, and malnourished will reach menopause 3-4 years earlier than women who are strong, well-nourished, and of moderate weight; women with chronic wasting diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and metabolic disorders will reach menopause earlier than healthy women of the same age; women with disharmonious sex lives, unhappy marital relationships, and long-term depression will also reach menopause relatively early.

Note:

1. Wear multiple layers of clothing, preferably cotton. If you get hot flashes, take off your outer clothing. Also, drink a glass of cool water or cold juice when a hot flash starts.

2. Wear cotton pajamas and keep the bedroom cool. Put extra sheets on your bed. When hot flashes occur, wet the top sheet and remove it.

3. Pay attention to your diet, don’t drink alcohol or eat spicy food.

4. Keep exercising. Some women find that regular exercise can lessen the effects of hot flashes and help them sleep better.

5. Eat more tofu. Beans contain a substance from the same family as estrogen that may help relieve symptoms like hot flashes. You can also drink cool soy milk when hot flashes start.

6. Be patient. The symptom of menopause is "the rabbit's tail - it won't grow longer". It will gradually disappear within 3-5 years at most.

The above has introduced in detail the normal menopausal age and precautions. I believe everyone has understood it. Women may experience some gynecological diseases during menopause. Therefore, once women find symptoms of menopause, they should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. Make your body get better faster and devote yourself better to work and life.
