Women need to prevent endocrine diseases in spring

As the weather warms up in spring, the grass grows and the birds fly, everything revives, and the human body's metabolism speeds up, the body's water metabolism is vigorous, and the nutrient consumption increases. At this time, the human body's internal environment is relatively unstable, which can easily cause endocrine disorders in women. Female friends should take action early, pay attention to prevention, stay away from the troubles of endocrine disorders, and spend a healthy and beautiful season.

Prone to dysfunctional uterine bleeding

Female endocrine is not the same as the human endocrine system in our daily life. It specifically refers to the endocrine status of female sex hormones (such as estrogen and progesterone). The balance of female endocrine is a necessary condition for maintaining their development and normal physiological cycle. If endocrine imbalance is caused by various factors, it may lead to the occurrence of a variety of female endocrine diseases. The occurrence of various female endocrine diseases will lead to irregular menstruation, infertility, breast pain, breast hyperplasia, acne, obesity, etc.

There are many kinds of female endocrine diseases, including precocious puberty, premenstrual syndrome, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, polycystic ovary syndrome, perimenopausal syndrome, etc. Apart from the role of genetic factors, the incidence of various female endocrine diseases varies in different seasons due to various factors such as human activities, metabolism, nutritional status, psychology, and environment. In spring, dysfunctional uterine bleeding is more common.

How to prevent dysfunctional uterine bleeding

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, referred to as DUB, is abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endocrine factors, excluding systemic diseases and reproductive organ lesions (such as abnormal coagulation function, uterine fibroids, etc.). It can be manifested as excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged duration, long and short intervals, or small but continuous bleeding. It can cause anemia, reproductive system infection, infertility, mental burden, and even endometrial hyperplasia.

The causes of functional uterine bleeding are different in different age groups: Adolescent women, because their own regulatory functions are not yet perfect, if they are overworked at this time, it may cause functional uterine bleeding or lead to other menstrual diseases.

Women of childbearing age often experience temporary anovulation due to certain internal or external environmental stimuli, such as fatigue, stress, miscarriage, surgery or illness. They may also experience functional uterine bleeding due to persistent anovulation caused by obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia and other factors.

During the menopausal transition period, the follicles in women's bodies are almost exhausted and their sensitivity to hormones in the human body is reduced. The follicles develop to a certain extent, but slowly and insufficiently, which can easily lead to insufficient progesterone levels and successful hemorrhage.

In other cases, the endometrium responds to the body's estrogen fluctuations, causing part of the endometrium to rupture or shed and bleed.

After understanding the causes of functional uterine bleeding, women should take appropriate measures to try to keep their bodies in a balanced state and prevent it from happening. As for adolescent and menopausal women, since most of them are in the physiological age group, they can only spend this period as peacefully as possible through various beneficial and balanced methods.

Diet and exercise adjustment

Endocrine regulation mainly starts with diet and exercise, supplemented by drug treatment when necessary. Develop good eating habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink more water, replenish the water and nutrients needed by the body, and provide the various nutrients and water needed to maintain metabolism. At the same time, participate in various sports and exercises to strengthen the body and make the body more balanced.

You also need to have a scientific lifestyle and avoid staying up late often, so as not to disrupt normal physiological laws and immunity, causing an imbalance or even deficiency in hormone secretion, and then causing other diseases.

In addition, you must ensure rest and adequate sleep so that the body can maintain its normal and coordinated functions while ensuring nutrition, adequate exercise, and a regular work and rest schedule.

In daily work and life, pay attention to avoid overwork. Whether it is physical or mental work, it will cause physiological fluctuations in women. Try to reduce the situation where the body is in a state of stress.

Women of childbearing age should take good contraceptive measures to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions.

Relax your mind

Due to their special physiological and psychological characteristics, women also have unique emotional expressions. Because they are more easily affected by the external environment, they often experience negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and depression.

When the human body is under various pressures and suddenly relaxes, this state of tension and emotional changes will be reflected in the nervous system, causing hormone secretion disorders. Therefore, we must actively regulate our emotions and maintain a stable mood and state of mind to reduce skin changes before and after special physiological cycles and maintain a good mental state.

You should also maintain a regular life and get enough sleep, especially on special days such as menstruation and menopause, and pay attention to diverting your negative emotions in time.

Acne is more likely to occur in spring

Another common endocrine problem in spring is acne.

Winter is cold and dry. In order to prevent the skin from losing too much moisture, the stratum corneum thickens, making the skin dry and rough. In spring, with more sunshine and rising temperatures, the blood circulation and metabolism of the skin become active, and the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands gradually increases.

If you don't change the condition of your skin in winter and remove the dead skin cells and body fat from your skin, acne will easily form.

Especially for young women, the secretion of male hormones increases in spring, the secretion of sebum is vigorous, and pollen, dust, and microorganisms in the atmosphere adhere to the face, making it more likely to form acne.

To prevent these problems, do the following:

1. Pay attention to prevent the damage of ultraviolet rays in the sun to the skin. Try to avoid exposure to the sun around noon when the light is strong.

2. Go to bed early and get up early, live a regular life, and get enough sleep. Do not abuse cosmetics and medicines.

3. Avoid spicy food. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C and milk rich in calcium. Drink more water.

4. Build confidence, don’t be sad, don’t be distressed, and be in a good mood.

5. Do not over-cleanse your skin, because over-cleaning will stimulate cells to secrete more oil, forming a vicious cycle.

Experts remind: If endocrine disorders occur and self-regulation is ineffective, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, receive guidance from a professional doctor, and recover as soon as possible.
