How old is menopause normal for women? Six signs will appear in the body before menopause
Amenorrhea is the last menstrual period in women's physiological process, and it is also a necessary physiological process for women. It has a certain relationship with age, but there are many factors that are affected, and we must pay attention to it in life.
How old is female amenorrhea
Female amenorrhea refers to the period when the ovarian function further declines and finally disappears. According to foreign statistics, the risk of death of women with amenorrhea before the age of 40 is 39% higher than that of women with amenorrhea between 40 and 44 years old, 60% higher than that of women with amenorrhea between 45 and 49 years old, and 95% higher than that of women with amenorrhea between 50 and 54 years old. Therefore, understanding the various factors affecting amenorrhea and delaying the age of amenorrhea are issues that cannot be ignored in the health care of middle-aged and elderly women. The number of oocytes is the most important factor to determine the age of menopause. At birth, there are about 1 million oocytes in each ovary
Factors determining amenorrhea
1. Physical condition: The average age of amenorrhea of women with long-term malnutrition, short stature and light weight is 43.6 years old and 47.3 years old compared with women with good nutrition, high stature and relatively heavy weight.
2. Smoking habit: smoking is an important factor in the early age of amenorrhea. Amphetamine in cigarettes is the lethal factor of oocytes. Animal experiments have proved that low dose of amphetamine can destroy 25% of oocytes, and high dose of amphetamine can destroy 98% of oocytes. According to a survey by the Royal University Hospital, women who smoke and women who do not smoke enter menopause on average 54 days ago.
3. Month of birth: According to new research, women's menopause is often affected by the month of birth. Women born in March have the earliest menopause, and women born in October have the latest menopause. Researchers surveyed 3000 Italian women and found that menopause may vary by 18 months due to different birth months.
4. Mental health: menopausal age is also related to various mental health factors. Research shows that women who have harmonious relationship between husband and wife and harmonious sexual life have a later age of amenorrhea than women who have disharmonious relationship between husband and wife and lack of desire and sexual life. Especially women with mental stress, overwork, long-term depression and anxiety can affect neuroendocrine function and early amenorrhea.
Manifestation of amenorrhea
1. Change of menstrual cycle: the cycle is prolonged, the interval between menstrual periods is prolonged, or if it doesn't come in February or March, it will return to natural law after a few months. This kind of menopause and regular behavior can last for a year or two. Some women have short cycles and excessive menstrual cycles over a period of time.
