Does menopause at 45 mean faster aging than menopause at 55? This article dispels rumors and tells the truth
As women age, the body also gradually ages, and unlike men, women will experience the iconic "menopause" stage due to the gradual decline of ovarian function compared to men's gradual aging, and will eventually menstruate It disappears and enters the menopause. Many female friends are wondering about such a question. Does it mean that the earlier the menopause occurs, the earlier the ovarian function will age, and the faster the body will age? For example, menopause at 45 years old and menopause at 55 years old, does it mean that people who have menopause at 45 years old will age faster?
The decline of ovarian function leads to a decrease in the level of estrogen in women. This change in hormone level will bring about physiological changes in many aspects such as body and psychology for women. Usually, women will enter the estrogen period between the ages of 45 and 55. During menopause, menstrual flow gradually decreases, and menopause will eventually occur. As for this stage, from the perspective of women’s ovarian function changes, it is true that if menopause occurs at the age of 45, compared with menopause at the age of 55, the aging changes in ovarian function will be greater. It appeared earlier, but if it is used as a basis to judge that menopause is earlier, it means that the body is aging faster, which is not scientific and comprehensive enough.
Regarding such a question, I would like to discuss a question with you first, what exactly is "aging"? Is it the aging of the face, the increase of wrinkles, or the psychological changes, the loss of vitality, or the beginning of problems in various organs of the body? I believe that different people have different definitions of aging, but in a comprehensive analysis, the so-called aging is a physical and psychological condition that integrates various aspects of the body. It is a physiological state that only occurs during menopause. It is certainly not accurate enough to judge sooner or later.
Generally, if menopause occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, it is normal as long as it does not appear before the age of 40. However, whether menopause occurs a few years earlier or later does not represent the overall aging status of the human body.
For example, if a 45-year-old postmenopausal female friend pays more attention to physical health maintenance, actively does a good job in physical conditioning during menopause, and pays more attention to skin care, compared with a 55-year-old postmenopausal friend, during menopause. Among them, he did not actively maintain his health, nor did he actively intervene and control various possible chronic metabolic problems, osteoporosis and other problems. At the same time, he usually did not pay attention to the maintenance and conditioning of the skin. Compared with these two friends Whether it is from the external skin appearance or the internal physical health, can it be said that this 45-year-old postmenopausal friend will "age" more than the 55-year-old postmenopausal friend? fast?
Therefore, if we want to age slowly, we should not compare with others, but rather compare with others. Our genetics and personal physique determine the health of each person. The time of menopause occurs sooner or later, and the overall aging speed of the body , will be different, therefore, if we want to slow down our aging speed, we should start from ourselves and be responsible for our own health. The prevention of the three highs, the prevention of osteoporosis, the prevention of cardiovascular disease, the prevention of genitourinary system diseases and other aspects of health conditioning and maintenance, if any related diseases are found and need treatment or medication, follow the doctor's advice and use reasonable To control the related chronic diseases with the appropriate medication plan, and at the same time maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude psychologically. Having a young heart is also an important aspect for the body to slow down aging and maintain youthful vitality. If the above aspects can be achieved, And why bother to worry about whether menopause is early or late?
