From the age of 30, the function of the "ovary", the maker of female hormones, began to decline. Among them, the secretion of progesterone and estrogen will be reduced, so that the hormones in women are in a state of deficiency all the year round.

With the growth of age, ovarian function gradually declines, and the amount of hormone secretion in the body will gradually decrease, making you feel old.

Especially in menopause, the secretion of hormones almost stops, leading to menopausal depression and even suicidal thoughts. ...

The so-called menopause is a transitional period in which ovarian function gradually declines and reproductive organs begin to shrink. It usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55.
