On December 4 (interview time), in Linyi, Shandong, a 42-year-old woman experienced "cliff-like aging", and she seemed to be dozens of years old in a month. Doctors diagnosed premature ovarian failure, which cannot be reversed.
Why do ovaries fail prematurely, and what factors cause premature ovarian failure?Let's learn Xi together today.
The ovaries are responsible for a woman's growth and development, the conception of life, and the maintenance of beauty. The vast majority of women want to be able to stay young forever, and protecting the ovaries is a top priority, because the health of the ovaries is directly related to the level of female endocrine and hormones. During the life cycle, environmental toxicants directly affect the rate of ovarian function decline and determine the age of menopause in women.
Environmental toxins have been shown to have harmful effects on ovarian function decline in the last century, such as endocrine disruptors, which are widely found in chemicals such as personal care products, plastic products, metal products, drinking water and certain foods, and affect various hormone-related functions by interfering with the body's endocrine system. Common endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A, phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, phytoestrogens, etc., can enter people's bodies and bring various harms even in low concentrations.
Bisphenol A increases follicular atrophy, which leads to a rapid decline in the number of follicles. At any stage, whether prenatal, postpartum, or trying to conceive, exposure to BPA can reduce the number of follicles. In a prospective cohort study, it was observed that high concentrations of BPA were found in the urine of women undergoing infertility**, mainly in hundreds of plastic products such as water bottles, hose coatings, and dental fillings used daily at home.
In a mouse trial, researchers found that exposure to phthalates during pregnancy affected the absorption of follicles in second-generation mice, thereby significantly reducing the number of primordial follicles in second-generation mice. In recent years, phthalates have been found in synthetic plastic materials used in certain brands of toys, clothes, shoes, flooring and home decoration materials in China, which are mainly used as plasticizers to improve the functionality of products. The levels of phthalates found in these products have been reported to cause abnormalities in users.
Cadmium is a heavy metal toxic substance, and in granular cells, cadmium can affect follicular development by increasing levels of anti-Mullerian hormone. Because cadmium is easily absorbed by plants and enriched in plants, it is estimated that about 10% of rice in China has excessive cadmium content every year, and most of the glazed ceramic tableware used in households has excessive cadmium content, and cadmium precipitation will also occur in metal pipe fittings that transport tap water, which are common in the home environment.
It may be a sign of ovarian decline when the body has the following conditions:
1. Menstrual cycle disorders cause amenorrhea or difficulty in getting pregnant;
2. **Loose and rough, dull complexion;** And armpit hair falls out, the number of sexual life gradually decreases, and even disgusting life;
3. The decline of ovarian function is also easy to cause the autonomic nerve to be destroyed, such as chills, sweating, emotional instability, nervousness and anxiety, insomnia and dreams, and in severe cases, it may produce symptoms such as depression, irritability, irritability, memory loss, etc
4. The body with declining ovarian function will also have symptoms such as cold and heat, chest pain and shortness of breath, sometimes dizziness, rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, fatigue, palpitations and so on.
Ovarian function decline is a gradual process, and it is important to pay close attention to any of the above signals. Maintain the youthful vitality of the ovaries, avoid the invasion of environmental poisons, and develop good life habits Xi. Ensuring adequate sleep every day, avoiding staying up late, maintaining a good attitude in life, and maintaining daily exercise to enhance the body's resistance are the basis for maintaining a youthful ovarian state.
In terms of avoiding the invasion of environmental poisons, CEHN, which has received funding from the Kellogg Society, has fully launched the "3D detection of the home environment" service in 49 states in the United States, 6 provinces in Canada and 5 states in Australia, and cooperated with China's "Health to Home" in China at the same time.
In the face of ovarian function decline, female compatriots do not need to be overly anxious. Believe that a healthy mindset is a prerequisite for all health. I have witnessed first-hand the lows in the lives of women with declining ovarian function, and I have had the privilege of witnessing their glow after conditioning. Let's work together to care for and care for our ovaries in all aspects, so that they can be revitalized more and longer. Let the "nest of life" bloom more dazzling brilliance in our care, and protect our physical and mental health and beauty.
