Does premature menopause affect life expectancy?

Many patients do not understand the hazards of amenorrhea, and are also concerned about whether amenorrhea will affect life expectancy. So will amenorrhea affect life expectancy? How to care for patients with amenorrhea to effectively prolong their life expectancy?

If the ovaries are not well cared for during this period to ensure that the follicles in the ovaries absorb sufficient nutrients, the follicles will not mature and ovulate, and the secretion of female estrogen and progesterone will drop to the lowest level. Women will experience menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea before the age of 45, accompanied by a series of menopausal syndromes.

Once a person stops menstruating, the secretion of female hormones will drop sharply, and the ovarian function will decline rapidly. Many symptoms will follow. Women will experience palpitations, chest tightness, anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, and memory loss. Women's appearance is mainly maintained by female hormones. The skin loses its luster and wrinkles appear in large numbers. The vaginal mucosa will become thinner and more vulnerable to external damage; the mind will become unfocused; back pain will often be felt; the digestive system's absorption of nutrients will be weakened, and osteoporosis and joint pain will follow.

From the above content, we can see that amenorrhea generally causes greater harm to women, but the appearance of these symptoms will not directly cause death and generally will not seriously affect life expectancy.
