Menopause is a normal phenomenon in the physiological stage of women's life. But female menopause is not the only sign of female aging, nor can it be used to measure the speed of female aging. Female menopause is only a clinical manifestation of ovarian dysfunction.
When women enter middle age, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body is less and less, and the proliferation and shedding of endometrium gradually stop, which leads women to go from menstrual disorder to menopause, that is, they give up at the beginning.
The menopausal age of women is generally between 45 and 55. As long as it is a normal physiological menopause, it is a normal phenomenon, so don't worry too much about the time of menopause. Does that mean I'm getting old? Women's menopause for more than one year means that the function of ovarian secretion of sex hormones is also rapidly declining, and women's physiological and psychological activities have a very important relationship with the level of estrogen.
I hope my answer can help you!
For the majority of women, with the growth of age, at a certain stage, the ovarian function in the body will gradually decline until failure, which will eventually lead to menstrual stop, that is, menopause. The emergence of menopause means that women gradually lose their fertility from adulthood to old age.
As far as women in China are concerned, relevant statistics show that the average menopausal age of women in China is 49.5 years old, ranging from 40 years old at the earliest to nearly 60 years old at the latest. Of course, the above menopause age is the normal menopause age for women. For some diseases or artificial menopause caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the specific age is related to the disease and treatment.
During a period of time before and after menopause, due to the decline of ovarian function, the hormone level in the body will also decrease, which can cause a series of physiological or psychological changes and seriously affect the quality of life of women. We call this period perimenopausal syndrome (menopausal syndrome), so we should understand it correctly and avoid being partial to hearing and believing, so as to get through this special stage smoothly.
Menopause syndrome first began with menstrual disorder, and the most common symptoms are hot flashes, flushing and sweating. Other symptoms include emotional changes (which can be manifested as emotional excitement or depression), insomnia, loss of libido, pain during sexual intercourse, frequent urination, urgency and pain in urination. Due to the change of hormone levels, the probability of women suffering from osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases and endocrine diseases has also greatly increased. Facing this period, we should pay attention to reasonable diet, proper exercise, more communication with people, keep a good attitude, pay attention to gynecological examination every year, and prevent contraception until one year after complete menopause. At the same time, we should pay attention to monitoring the changes of blood pressure and blood sugar, and actively supplement calcium to prevent osteoporosis. For those with obvious symptoms, hormone replacement therapy can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
Menopause is something that every woman will experience. When she reaches a certain age, the ovarian function declines or loses, and the estrogen secretion function declines, leading to the phenomenon of menstrual stop. However, many people have different menopause time. Some people go through menopause at the age of 35, while others go through menopause at the age of 50. What's going on here? Let's have a look!
At what age do women usually enter menopause?
Generally speaking, women's menopause will be between 45 and 55 years old. At this age, the ovulation function of each ovary in the body is basically in a state of decline, and the decline of ovarian function means that our menstruation will gradually decrease to the last menopause. Therefore, it is normal for women to go through menopause between the ages of 45 and 55.
What are the hazards of early menopause for women?
1, premature menopause will accelerate aging.
Premature ovarian decline will lead to decreased estrogen secretion, accelerate female aging, make youth disappear, and let you enter menopause in advance. Aging will lead to great changes in image and appearance, including skin aging, wrinkles, breast atrophy, abdominal fat accumulation and so on.
2. Premature menopause can lead to infertility.
After menopause, our ovarian function will appear premature aging, reproductive organs will also shrink, and it is very likely that we will not ovulate; Moreover, if estrogen becomes low, the altered follicles without increment in endometrium will not develop basically, which will lead to the possibility of female infertility.
3. Menopause affects the life of husband and wife in advance.
Menopause is a normal physiological phenomenon, which will cause abnormal changes in women's physiological functions such as uterine contraction and narrowing of vaginal channels, and reduce the quality of life of female couples.
Although premature menopause in women has many bad effects, it does not mean that premature menopause in women is harmless.
Because if women go through menopause too late, it will increase the risk of cancer. There are many health problems caused by being late, and most of them are related to gynecological diseases. The longer women are affected by estrogen, the higher the risk of gynecological cancer, and the easier it is to induce three estrogen-related diseases: breast cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. Moreover, some women's late menopause may be related to ovarian tumors, so if they find that they have passed the normal menopause age, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination.
Generally speaking, menopause is a necessary process for women, and it is not a good thing to be too early or too late. And if you find yourself going through menopause in advance, you can adjust it through some diets. For example, you can eat more soybeans or some bean products, and you can supplement estrogen to help you delay the aging of the ovaries and make the menopause time reach a suitable age.
There are also some women who try to postpone menopause in order to stay young, but in fact menopause is a normal physiological phenomenon. As long as your menopause time is within the normal time range, it has little effect on aging. On the contrary, stimulating the ovary by drugs and other methods and increasing estrogen will lead to problems in the later stage of the ovary, which will not only fail to maintain youth, but will increase the risk of cancer.
Therefore, for the sake of their health and youth, women should protect themselves and develop good living habits and eating habits, which is a responsible attitude towards their health.
Menopause is a profound physiological change for women. Before and after menopause, due to the change of estrogen level, it will produce symptoms that are difficult to adapt. Most women want the menopause to last shorter and last later. So, at what age do women usually go through menopause? Next, medical science will analyze it for you.
There is no uniform age for women's menopause, which may occur in their forties or fifties, but most women's menopause occurs between the ages of 44 and 54, with an average menopause age of about 49.5. Ladies can use this as a reference standard. If there is no menstrual cramp after the last menstruation 12 months, it means menopause. Before and after menopause, women will experience profound physiological changes. Among them, the typical symptom before menopause is menstrual disorder, but hot flashes have the greatest impact on women, which can occur several times or even dozens of times a day. Due to the increase of subjective discomfort, emotional changes are usually secondary, such as becoming irritable, and some women will also have psychological changes, such as anxiety and depression, which really bring many adverse effects to women's life and work. For these symptoms, drugs, such as estrogen, can be used to regulate menstruation and relieve hot flashes.
After menopause, women's subjective symptoms will be relieved to some extent, but the change of hormone level will still have a far-reaching impact on women. For example, postmenopausal osteoporosis will increase the risk of female fractures; The occurrence of postmenopausal atherosclerosis can increase the risk of cardiovascular events; The change of cognitive function after menopause can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The atrophy of vagina and urethra after menopause can increase the infection of vagina and urethra and reduce the quality of sexual life. For the treatment of some symptoms, estrogen can also be used, but it should be used after the relevant contraindications are excluded under the guidance of a specialist. At the same time, postmenopausal women should change their lifestyle, give priority to choosing a low-salt, low-fat and low-cholesterol diet, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and exercise properly, which will help reduce the risk of postmenopausal cardiovascular events.
To sum up, the menopausal age of most women is between 44 and 54 years old, and the average menopausal age is about 49.5 years old. Thank you for reading!
Let's talk about this problem from three aspects.
1. The number of follicles excreted in a person's life.
2. Duration of normal menstruation.
3. Longitudinal comparison of menstruation.
Let's share it. Why do you say that?
1. The number of follicles excreted by the ovary in a lifetime. When the number of ovaries is the largest, it is about 16 to 20 weeks of embryo. At this time, there are 6 million to 7 million ovaries on both sides of the ovary, and then gradually decrease, leaving only about 2 million at birth and about 300,000 at puberty. At first glance, this figure is very impressive, but only about 0. 1% of the total, which is about four or five hundred. If menstruation comes once a month, it is 12 times a year, which is about 33-4 1 year; If the menstrual period is shorter, the total time of menstruation in a lifetime will be shorter; If the menstrual period is longer, the total period of menstruation in your life will be longer.
So the time of menarche, plus the total number of years, is the approximate time of menopause.
2. Duration of normal menstruation. There are seven different physiological stages in a woman's life, namely, fetus, newborn, childhood, adolescence, sexual maturity, menopausal transition and postmenopausal. Among them, there are menstrual periods, namely adolescence, sexual maturity and menopause.
Menstruation is generally the last time of adolescence, usually at the age of eleven or twelve, but in adolescence, because the estrogen feedback mechanism is not yet fully mature, menstruation is often irregular, follicles mature, and normal ovulation cannot be carried out, so there will generally be regularity. Periodic ovulation usually takes 5 to 7 years, and then menstruation will be regular.
So sexual maturity is about 18 years old, and then it takes about 30 years, and the transition period of menopause begins at around 40 years old. Short people will go through menopause in 1 to 2 years, and long people will go through menopause in 10 to 20 years.
At present, the average decision-making age of women in China is about 50 years old, and about 80% of them are between 45 and 55 years old.
3. Longitudinal comparison of menstruation. In fact, menopause runs in the family. Usually, many patients in our department have hysteromyoma or adenomyosis, which leads to menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea. Many people will ask me when I will stop menstruating. Rapid menopause does not hurt. I usually tell him that I can only give you a rough time. The real time is different for everyone, but it is roughly the same as your sister or mother at home, only a few years away.
Therefore, from three aspects: the number of follicles discharged in a person's life, the length of regular menstruation and the longitudinal comparison of menstruation, 80% of people are menopausal at the age of 50, but it does not rule out that a very small number of people have been menopausal at the age of 36 due to premature ovarian failure, and the oldest is anemia patients who are currently hospitalized in our department. He is 62 years old, and he is still menstruating, which is very distressing.
Everyone is different, so we can't generalize.
Menopause is a necessary stage for every woman, and no woman can avoid it. "Menopause" means that the body is no longer young and there will be many changes. So many women hope that menopause can be as late as possible. In fact, is menopause really as late as possible? That's not true, so at what age is menopause normal?
It is understood that the menopausal age of most women in China is between 45 and 55. After this time period, it will be too early, and after this time period, it will be too late. You know, the time of menopause varies greatly with different physical conditions, which has a great relationship with our eating habits and living environment. So how to calculate the time of menopause? Generally speaking, the last period is menopause.
What are the premenopausal manifestations?
After understanding the golden age of menopause, let's look at the symptoms before menopause.
1. Irregular menstruation
Under normal circumstances, women's menstrual time every month is regular and very fixed, and there will be no big fluctuations. But if menopause is coming, the menstrual time will become irregular. Not only that, the duration will also fluctuate greatly, and it is possible that the menstrual period will last for more than ten days. The color of menstruation will also change, this time it is pink, and next time it may be light pink or black. Of course, if this symptom appears before menopause, it is not necessarily because menopause is coming, because emotional fluctuations or dietary changes may affect menstruation.
2. Emotional ups and downs.
When a woman is about to experience menopause, her body will undergo great changes, which will make her feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable. At this time, the mood will fluctuate greatly and it is very easy to get angry. Not only that, but also depression may occur. Therefore, if there are menopausal women at home, we should pay more attention to them and give them more love and tolerance.
3. Can't hold my urine
Under normal circumstances, when we want to pee, if we don't want to go to the toilet, we can not go, hold our urine and solve our physical problems when we are busy. However, it is very difficult for premenopausal women to hold their urine. If you feel like urinating, you will want to go to the toilet very much. Not only that, but also the amount of urination is not much. Why on earth is this? Because women who are about to enter menopause or have passed menopause have less estrogen, the bladder muscle elasticity is not as good as before, and it is difficult to hold their urine. Not only that, but also symptoms of sagging breasts may occur.
The arrival of menopause means that you are no longer young, which is what every woman who loves beauty does not want to see. However, this is a reality that they have to accept. In fact, as long as you keep fit and protect your body. Even in menopause, you can still bloom differently.

I have a deep feeling about female menopause recently. Maybe my age has reached this stage. Many people around me have symptoms around the age of 45. I think the specific time of menopause varies according to one's health. At the same time, Xiao Juan had irregular menstruation at the age of 44 two years ago, and the amount was small. Now it is even more irregular. She is basically in a semi-menopausal state. I think it is because of her weak constitution and long-term lack of qi and blood. Xiaojie, who lives in the same room with her, is 45 years old and had irregular menstruation a year ago. She didn't care at the time. At the beginning of this year, the situation was even worse. She went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with menopause. She is also very angry, usually with a bad heart, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and usually does not like sports; The other is Jassamyn Liu of the company, a typical menopausal condition, love sweating, who suffers from sleep disorder, is upset and irritable, and is uncomfortable every day. She is 52 years old this year, and I think this age should be the normal menopause age; The last person to say is my colleague Lin. She didn't leave when her period came in July this year. In the past month, she has been seriously anemic and has problems at work. Now she has been taking hormones in stages to control menstrual cycle and blood volume, and the effect is not particularly good. She has no other symptoms at present. According to some symptoms of people around me, I think menopause is a stage that every woman has to go through. What we can do is to make ourselves have a better state of mind and a healthier body, and postpone the arrival of menopause as much as possible. Caring for yourself is also caring for your family. . . . .
When is female menopause normal? In fact, there is a standard time for female menopause, between 45 and 55 years old, but it is not the only standard, because the time of menopause will be different according to different people's physical conditions. Some people may have stopped menstruating before they reach the age of 45, while others may have not stopped menstruating after 55. People who have passed these times may have some physical problems, while those who have passed this time are in relatively good health.
As we all know, postmenopausal women not only have to face the problem of aging, but also face the decline of various body functions and the risk of some diseases, such as osteoporosis and some cardiovascular diseases, without the protection of hungry estrogen. Therefore, many people hope that they can go through menopause later. In addition to physical changes, perimenopausal period will also have great psychological and emotional changes, which will seriously affect life and physical health. This is why many people want to go through menopause later.
In fact, for women, if they want normal menopause or postpone menopause, they need to adjust their physical condition, diet and living habits from now on, especially those with polycystic ovary. We all know that polycystic ovary is difficult to get pregnant. If they want to get pregnant, they must intervene with ovulation induction drugs, but one disadvantage of taking this drug is that it will lead to premature ovarian failure. Therefore, for people with polycystic ovary, menopause comes earlier than ordinary people, but people with polycystic ovary are not helpless. Just according to the doctor's advice, many people can recover even if they can control their weight within the normal range, but this process will be more difficult. Therefore, for women, weight control, balanced diet, eating enough/exercising enough are also effective methods to delay the onset of menopause and relieve menopausal symptoms.
How old is a woman after menopause? As a cardiovascular doctor, it seems inappropriate for Dr. Zhang to talk about this issue. However, because cardiovascular doctors often need to ask whether women are menopausal during consultation with patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cardiovascular doctors still have certain clinical feelings as front-line doctors. Let me talk about my own clinical experience for reference only.
Cardiologists are also concerned about whether women have menopause. The main reason is that many cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension and other metabolic chronic diseases, are relatively low in premenopausal women, or significantly lower than men of the same age. Once women pass menopause, the probability of suffering from these diseases will increase year by year, even approaching and surpassing men of the same age. Therefore, experienced cardiovascular doctors will ask female patients whether they are menopausal when they see a doctor, because menopause itself is also one of the risk factors of cardiovascular disease. For this reason, cardiovascular doctors also have certain clinical feelings about the menopausal age of women.
My own feeling is that for the majority of women, 45-55 years old is the age of menopause for most women, especially for women around 50 years old, many of them have menstrual disorders and even menopause. But when it comes to early menopause, I have personally seen it, such as women in their thirties who have not had menstruation. I have seen it later, for example, women who gradually stopped menstruating after the age of 55 have also seen it. So the age of menopause varies from person to person, and everyone is different. "Menopause" began in the early thirties and gradually stopped after the late fifties. Most women's menopausal age occurred around the age of fifty.
In fact, this superficial understanding is mainly based on Dr. Zhang's clinical experience from a cardiovascular doctor. If you encounter problems related to menopause, you'd better consult and find an experienced gynecologist for treatment.
For Chinese women, usually after the age of 40, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body is getting less and less, the ovarian gradually loses its nutritional function, and its function begins to decline, which may be accompanied by menstrual disorders and changes in menstrual volume.
45-54 years old enters the transition period of menopause (that is, we often say menopause), and the age of despair may be in this period or close to 60 years old. According to statistics, the average menopausal age of women in China is around 50 years old, and of course a small number will be before 45 years old. This condition is called early menopause.
Ovarian aging means the decline of women's reproductive and endocrine functions, so many times, ovarian aging is regarded as the starter of female multiple organ aging. Usually after ovarian aging and before menopause, there will be some reactions in the body, which we call menopausal syndrome. The top six symptoms of menopausal transition are decreased sexual desire, decreased memory, decreased sexual satisfaction, avoidance behavior, low back pain and decreased physical strength. Affected by these symptoms, most women in the transition period of menopause are tortured and easily excited.
In fact, menopause is a stage that every woman has to go through, just like the pain at the beginning of childbirth. After this stage, you should be happy and comfortable. As long as you keep a good optimistic attitude, firmly believe that the next moment will be happy, and face life with a different attitude, life will also give you a positive side.
