Generally speaking, the average age of menopause is about 50 ~ 55 years old, and the average life expectancy of women in Taiwan Province Province is about 80 years old, which means that women spend about13 of their life in menopause and menopause. Therefore, in addition to understanding how to relieve the discomfort of menopausal syndrome, they must also know how to maintain the quality of life after menopause.
Once entering menopause, it means that women no longer secrete female hormones, but the secondary sexual characteristics will not be eliminated. Dr. Wu Mingzhu, chairman of the Chinese Meridian Beauty Medical Association, pointed out that the so-called menopause means that there is no menstruation for 12 months in a row. If there are no other pathological factors, even if it is natural menopause, this situation generally occurs between 45 and 55 years old, with an average of about 50 years old. But in addition to menopause caused by aging, menopause can also occur when ovaries are removed.
The timing of menopause is not only related to heredity, but also to many factors. For some women who smoke, lack nutrition, have no children or even have their ovaries removed, they will enter menopause earlier than others. In addition, obese women or women with premenstrual syndrome and uterine fibroids will delay entering menopause because of excessive estrogen.
Years are drifting away and entering middle-aged and elderly people.
After menopause, most women will still experience menopausal syndrome for a long time. At this time, not only the physical changes are easy to make people feel depressed, but also because they have entered the middle-aged and elderly stage, they have to face many important turning points in their lives, which may be the blank window for their children to grow up and leave home, or the loss of focus in their lives after retirement, or even the death pressure of adding new members to their families, even relatives and friends or spouses, which is equivalent to the beginning of a second life and requires more adaptation and psychological adjustment.
On the other hand, because menopause begins, it means that ovarian function is no longer effective and does not have fertility, but for most female friends, it seems to be a symbol of the passage of time and the loss of physiological function. At this time, it is even easy to lose self-awareness, lack of self-confidence, and then appear psychological phenomena such as inferiority, depression, irritability or anxiety.
She has such a problem. She used to be the treasurer of a big company, and finally it's time to retire. When she wants to do something new, she finds that there are unimaginable new problems. Shortly after retirement, Ayu entered menopause, but sleeping at night became a painful thing. First, she often feels pain in her lower limbs before going to bed, and sometimes she feels as if there are bugs crawling on her legs, which is very sad. To make matters worse, she gradually found that sometimes when she was in a hurry but couldn't find the toilet, she seemed to pee involuntarily, which made her life very troublesome and even made her not want to go out to socialize.
Lose estrogen protection and face a disease crisis.
These are small things. What worries her even more is that Qiu Zi, the next-door neighbor, once a strong woman in the workplace, has gradually lost her wisdom in recent years. I heard that she soon lost the ability to walk, so she had to live in a wheelchair and didn't even remember who she and her family were.
In this case, the main reason why Ayu is difficult to fall asleep is also one of the diseases that women are prone to. Medically known as "restless leg syndrome", it is the most common disease of pregnant women and menopausal women. The cause of the disease is the lack of estrogen's original protective effect on sleep. Iron deficiency leads to insufficient dopamine in the body, which makes muscles out of control, makes hands and feet tremble involuntarily, and also makes menopausal women feel more depressed.
As for urinary incontinence, it is one of the troubles of postmenopausal women. Some women are really shy and afraid to go out for this reason, which leads to depressive symptoms. At the same time, it will also lead to urinary tract infection and perineal eczema, which will have a considerable impact on daily life. In this regard, pelvic contraction can be used to contract muscles and train sphincter to strengthen control function.
Although some studies have pointed out that the memory loss in menopause is only temporary, there is no need to worry too much. However, by menopause, most of them have entered a state of retirement or semi-retirement. If they do nothing all day and use their brains less, not only will their intelligence decline, but in the long run, their brains will be more prone to atrophy and premature aging. Therefore, even in old age, they still have to improve the operation of their brains, keep enough sleep, avoid excessive tension, and properly arrange their lives and work, which is beneficial.
Wu Mingzhu pointed out that after women enter menopause, due to estrogen deficiency, they are prone to brain (such as memory loss and dementia), skin (such as dryness and wrinkles), genitals (such as atrophy and dryness), urinary tract (such as frequent urination, urinary incontinence and increased urinary tract infection), eyes (such as dryness and macular degeneration) and vasodilation. At the same time, chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension will be complicated with the above symptoms, and even more serious diseases such as malignant tumors, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer.
Good maintenance can also make you healthy and happy.
Because menopause is a necessary process for women, it has a great influence, so we should pay more attention to the maintenance of daily diet. Wu Mingzhu suggested that the diet must be light and less oily, and try to choose fresh ingredients. It is necessary to take a balanced nutrition. In addition, you can eat more nourishing foods, such as black fungus, grapes, apples, seaweed, kelp, sea cucumber and so on. To replenish the water and colloid lost during this period. As for life, we should take regular and normal work and rest, keep enough sleep, try not to stay up late, and at the same time maintain a good mood and exercise moderately.
Dr. Wu Mingzhu, who is over 50 years old, always smiles brightly in front of the camera and responds kindly. This TCM doctor, who can be called "the head of beauty in China, Taiwan Province Province", mentioned his way of keeping in good health, and simply said that he used the three secret recipes of "eating well, sleeping well and being in a good mood" to maintain his youthful vitality. Busy, she actually has no time to exercise, and almost all meals are solved in the outpatient clinic. However, because she insists that there must be Chinese herbal medicines in the food, and the diet is as light as possible, mainly fresh ingredients, so she can keep her appearance younger than her actual age 10 years old and even take care of her skin.
The following are Wu Mingzhu's maintenance suggestions for female friends of this age:
Plan your retirement as soon as possible: after retirement, you don't have to worry about your life, but you will feel lost and helpless because of the shift of life focus. If you are unwell after menopause, you are more likely to lose your goal and feel depressed. It is best to plan your life after retirement as soon as possible, and treat your old life as a second life, so that your future life will be more exciting and more plastic.
◆ Nursing the uterus: After menopause, the uterus is at rest, and the endometrium will not change periodically. If there is still bleeding after menopause, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible; Especially the older you get, the more likely you are to suffer from uterine fibroids. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate good eating habits, eat more low-fat diets, nuts and miscellaneous grains, and check regularly to avoid the deterioration of fibroids.
◆ Store bone books: In addition to a balanced diet, regular exercise and timely supplementation of vitamin D and calcium, it is helpful to prevent osteoporosis. It is best to do a bone density test once a year to understand the bone condition, so as to find out the bone loss in time and take preventive measures as soon as possible.
