These changes in a woman's body indicate that you are about to enter menopause. Here's how to delay menopause

Women are the spiritual pillars of a family and the guarantee of family happiness. Therefore, women's health needs our utmost attention. If women want to be healthy and beautiful, it mainly depends on the maintenance of their ovaries. Menopause is something that all women have to face, but no one wants it to come too early, because it means getting older, worse skin, and reduced resistance... What are the symptoms of menopause?

Normal menopause time for women

The normal age of menopause for women is 47-55 years old, but there are exceptions. For example, women who are particularly good at taking care of their health may go through menopause after 55 years old. If you do not pay attention to hygiene and maintenance, you may go through menopause before the age of 47.

Furthermore, the time of menopause varies in different regions. For example, the average menopause age for European and American women is 52 years old, while that for African women is much earlier, at an average of 48 years old.

In addition, the age of menopause in women is also related to the environment. The drier and colder the environment, the earlier the menopause. The higher the altitude, the earlier the menopause.

On the other hand, the age of menopause in women is also related to their own conditions. For example, those who are malnourished will obviously menopause earlier than those who are well-nourished; those who suffer from broth diseases and metabolic disorders will menopause earlier than healthy people; women with long-term depression will menopause earlier than optimistic women.

Seven symptoms of premenopause

1. Menstrual disorders

Irregular menstrual cycles can be manifested by the following four symptoms:

1. Changes in menstrual volume

The menstrual flow may be normal or less than before. Sometimes the menstrual period may be prolonged or become continuous vaginal bleeding. It is also possible to have sudden heavy vaginal bleeding or amenorrhea. In short, it is very abnormal menstrual flow.

2. Irregular menstruation

The menstrual period is irregular, may be prolonged or may cause intermittent amenorrhea. Sometimes the menstrual cycle will gradually extend from one month to two or three months until menstruation no longer occurs.

3. Changes in menstrual blood

The color of menstrual blood becomes lighter, pink, or may turn black, accompanied by blood stasis. This is because the menstrual blood has been stagnant in the uterus for too long.

4. Sudden menopause

Some women had normal menstruation before, but suddenly experienced menopause after the age of 50. Some women's menstrual flow gradually decreases until they reach amenorrhea.

2. Hot flashes

Hot flashes are a common symptom before menopause. It is a sudden feeling of heat flowing through the whole body, especially the head, face and chest. At the same time, the face will become flushed, followed by sweating and chills.

3. Osteoporosis

Estrogen is a key hormone for maintaining healthy bones and can accelerate calcium absorption. However, when menopause is approaching, ovarian function declines, estrogen in the body decreases, and bone mass is lost, which affects bone health.

4. Emotional agitation

Postmenopausal women are prone to becoming irritable and agitated, or depressed and suspicious. In short, they are unable to control their emotions and appear very irrational.

5. Reproductive system changes

The breasts begin to shrink and shrink, the urethral mucosa becomes thinner, and even urinary incontinence occurs. The vaginal skin becomes dry and wrinkled, and becomes dry and loses elasticity.

6. Postmenopausal bleeding

Some women suddenly experience uterine bleeding after a period of amenorrhea. This is because the ovarian function has not completely disappeared and estrogen can still be secreted, causing bleeding, but the amount of bleeding is relatively small.

How to delay menopause?

1. Increase nutritional intake

Data show that the age of menarche for women nowadays is earlier than that of half a century ago, while the age of menopause is delayed. The reason is that the nutritional status is significantly improved nowadays. Therefore, if you want to delay the onset of menopause, you should not neglect nutrition, but you should not overdo it.

2. Maintain a positive attitude

If a person is depressed and worried for a long time, he will look haggard and old; on the contrary, if he is always cheerful and optimistic, he will not look old. People live in society. Contradictions may arise at any time, and unexpected things may happen frequently. Therefore, it is very important to constantly adjust your psychology and maintain a good attitude to stay young and delay aging.

3. Maintain a harmonious sex life

Sexual life is a sign of harmonious relationship between husband and wife. Harmonious sex life is conducive to promoting the relationship between husband and wife, making each other feel comfortable and in a good mood. Moreover, harmonious sex life can keep the endocrine functions of gonads, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland and pancreatic islet cells normal, not easy to decline, delay the aging of the body, and thus prolong life.
