Age-related factors in women's menopause

Nowadays, there is a huge difference in the age at which women experience menopause. This is because today's dietary conditions are better, and many women have better physical fitness. Therefore, there is often a huge difference in the age at which many women experience menopause. Therefore, many women want to know specifically about the factors that affect the age at which women experience menopause. In order for you to understand this as soon as possible, please take a look at the detailed introduction below.

1. It is related to nutritional status.

Related studies have found that women who are long-term malnourished, short stature, and light weight generally experience menopause earlier. Women who are in good nutritional status, taller and relatively heavier will experience menopause later.

2. It is related to the age at menarche.

Generally speaking, the younger the age at menarche, the earlier menopause occurs. This is because the earlier a woman's menarche occurs, the earlier she ovulates and the earlier she goes into menopause.

3. Related to illness.

Generally speaking, women may experience premature menopause if they suffer from systemic chronic wasting diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases and other diseases. In addition, women who suffer from malignant tumors and undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy may also suffer from premature ovarian failure and lead to menopause. Women with uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, breast cancer and other diseases may experience a delayed menopause age.

4. Related to marital and childbearing status.

Generally speaking, married women enter menopause later than unmarried women; the fewer pregnancies a woman has, the earlier she enters menopause; and the longer the breastfeeding period, the later she enters menopause. This is because both pregnancy and lactation can temporarily suppress ovulation, thereby relatively prolonging the ovulation time of a woman's lifetime and delaying menopause.

5. Related to smoking.

Smoking is an important factor in early menopause in women. Studies have found that women who smoke reach menopause five years earlier than women who do not smoke. Women whose husbands smoke and who are exposed to passive smoking will enter menopause 1-2 years earlier than non-smoking women. This is because the benzopyrene (benzopyrene) contained in cigarettes is a lethal factor to oocytes.

6. Related to drinking.

Alcohol can directly damage the gonads and cause ovarian atrophy. Therefore, women who drink alcohol frequently will experience early menopause. In addition, liver damage caused by alcohol can also weaken the liver cells' inactivation function of estrogen, causing estrogen levels in the body to drop, thereby accelerating aging in women.

7. It is related to mental factors.

Studies have shown that women who have harmonious marital relationships and harmonious sex lives reach menopause later than women who have disharmonious marital relationships, indulge in sexual activity, or lack sex lives. Women who are under great mental stress, overwork, suffer from long-term depression and anxiety are more likely to experience early menopause.
