Health for All says
First of all, after menopause, many women will find themselves less troubled by some common diseases. For example, many women are prone to menstrual cramps before menopause, but when menopause occurs, the symptoms of dysmenorrhea will gradually lessen or even disappear due to the decrease in estrogen levels. This is because dysmenorrhea is often associated with changes in estrogen levels, and menopause smooths out this change, reducing the incidence of dysmenorrhea.
In addition, menopause may also help reduce the symptoms of menopausal syndrome. Menopausal syndrome refers to a series of physical and emotional changes that occur before and after a woman enters menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, etc. While menopause itself can cause some similar symptoms, this transition is only temporary, and many women find themselves calmer and more stable once they adjust to their new physiological state.
On the other hand, after menopause, women also have a reduced risk of breast and uterus-related diseases. Diseases such as breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts are often associated with hormonal imbalances. After menopause, the incidence of these diseases decreases significantly due to a drop in estrogen levels. In addition, some recent studies have also found that the incidence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women is also relatively low.
In addition, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health of postmenopausal women will also be improved to a certain extent. After a woman's menopause, the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, which affect the health of blood vessels to some extent. As a result, after menopause, a woman's vascular function may improve, and the incidence of some chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease will also decrease.
Finally, after a woman goes through menopause, many people find it easier to maintain a healthy weight. Due to aging and a decline in metabolic rate, many women are prone to weight gain around the time of menopause. However, after menopause, there are some changes in the distribution of body fat in women, making it more likely that fat accumulates in the abdomen rather than in the buttocks and thighs. This alteration in fat distribution is associated with changes in hormone levels, which become more stable after menopause.
To sum up, female menopause does bring a range of benefits. In addition to marking new beginnings and the advancement of life, menopause has freed many women from some common problems. In addition, menopause also reduces the risk of some ** diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and makes it easier for women to maintain a healthy weight. However, physiological changes at any stage should be noticed and taken seriously, therefore, it is recommended that women get regular medical check-ups after menopause to ensure their good health.
