Will you age faster without a uterus?

Many women worry about menopause after middle age because they believe that menopause will accelerate aging. People without a uterus are also worried about this problem. In fact, these ideas have no scientific basis. Although women no longer have a uterus, their ovaries will still secrete estrogen normally and will not affect aging problems. This article introduces specific issues in this regard. If you want to know more, let’s take a look.

1. Will you age faster without a uterus?

To understand the answer to this question, we need to understand the female physiological structure. The uterus is shaped like an inverted pear and is a hollow organ that is the place where the embryo grows and develops. For women who bear children, menstrual blood is also discharged from the body through the shedding of the endometrium every month, so some women worry that once they stop having menstruation, they will immediately age.

In fact, this is not true. The maintenance of female sexual characteristics depends on the female hormones produced by the gonads-ovaries. There is one ovary on each side of the uterus. In women of childbearing age, the follicles in the ovaries develop, mature and ovulate periodically, producing estrogen and progesterone to maintain female sexual characteristics. The control of menstruation is regulated by the human brain and ovaries, and the uterus merely executes their orders. The brain regularly transmits information to the ovaries, and then the ovaries regularly release hormones to regulate the uterus to complete physiological functions, such as: conceiving a baby, menstruation, etc.

After the hysterectomy, there will definitely be a certain impact on the patient's body. The patient will no longer have menstruation, but after the operation, the fertilized egg will lose its place to grow, and the woman will no longer be able to have children. As long as the ovaries exist, they can secrete female hormones as usual, which can not only enable those who have undergone hysterectomy to continue to maintain various female characteristics, but also maintain normal female sexual function, so that the couple's life can still be harmonious and happy, and there is no need to worry about "getting old".

2. How can women protect their uterus?

1. Avoid multiple pregnancies

According to a survey, the possibility of uterine disease and harm increases significantly if the pregnancy occurs more than three times.

2. Do not have an abortion privately

Do not have an abortion privately, as doing so may result in serious consequences such as uterine damage or secondary infection.

3. Do not perform irregular delivery

A few backward areas still use the old method of delivery, which seriously threatens the lives of mothers and fetuses.

4. Don’t have a disordered sex life

If women indulge in sexual life or start sexual life before they reach adulthood, it will cause harm to their physical and mental health and may lead to diseases such as cervical erosion and cervical cancer.
