Before Zhou Xun starred in a movie "my earlier girlfriend", I think you can understand the word "earlier". Menopause is a natural process in which a woman's body no longer has reproductive function. Generally speaking, the average age of female menopause is 45-55 years old, so what are the symptoms of women entering early?
1. Menstrual disorder
Hormone changes will affect ovarian ovulation, resulting in irregular menstruation, no premonition of sudden menopause, menstrual interval longer, abnormal bleeding and so on. If you are under 40 years old, menopause lasts for three months or more, and you have symptoms such as fatigue or dyspnea, you need to go to the hospital for examination.
2. hot flashes
It is common for the skin of the chest, neck and face to become red, feel hot and sweat. This is a common phenomenon of quasi menopause, lasting up to a whole day and night, and leading to insomnia. This is due to hormonal fluctuations. The symptoms can last from two to 15 years. Wearing breathable cotton clothes and replenishing water can help relieve symptoms. In addition, avoiding obesity, alcohol, excessive caffeine, spicy food, MSG and so on will also help.
3. Emotional instability
Often feel upset, irritable or anxious. Ensure a healthy diet, regular exercise and adequate sleep to ensure that your blood sugar level is stable, so as to help alleviate symptoms.
4. Dry vagina
Changes in hormones mean that the vaginal wall reduces the amount of fluid and its elasticity. Some women often feel uncomfortable in their privacy, while some women only feel it when they have sex. The use of lubricants can alleviate the problem.
5. Urinary tract infection
Anatomically, women are more likely to have urinary tract infections than men, and infections are more frequent before and after menopause. Symptoms include frequent urination, painful urination, incontinence, etc. It can be effectively prevented by urinating after sex, using lubricant and doing pelvic floor exercise regularly.
6. Decreased libido
Many reasons will lead to sexual desire decline, such as emotional changes, poor sleep and so on.
7. Difficulty in pregnancy
Decreased ovulation can lead to fertility problems. But even if you are in menopause, it doesn't mean you won't ovulate, so if you don't want to be a good age, you'd better remember to use contraception.
8. Backache
Due to the decrease of estrogen, bone loss is caused, and ligament and cartilage are also affected. Studies have shown that hormone changes are also related to the occurrence of osteoarthritis. And pain can also be a sign that your bones are getting thin from osteoporosis. Supplement enough calcium and vitamin D, as well as muscle exercise, can help strengthen the bones.
9. Weight change
Too much pressure, metabolic capacity and muscle capacity reduction, lack of sleep, etc., will lead to weight changes. Regular exercise and scientific diet can help reduce weight.
10. chest pain
With the decrease of estrogen level, the level of cholesterol and blood sugar in the body begins to increase, the heart and blood vessels become more vulnerable, and the risk of various heart diseases will increase.
