Menopause is an important turning point in a woman's physiology and an inevitable stage in the life process. So, at what age is menopause better for women?What happens to a woman's body when she is about to go through menopause?As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions to popularize the relevant knowledge of menopause for everyone.
First of all, let's talk about the question of how old is it better for women to have menopause. According to statistics, the age of menopause for most women is between 45 and 55 years old, with the most common being around 50 years old. However, the age of menopause is influenced by individual differences and genetic factors, with some women likely to go through menopause around the age of 40, while others may wait until age 60 or even later. Therefore, there is no definite answer to the question of how old a woman is better for menopause, the key is to pay close attention to the changes in your body and seek medical advice from a professional doctor in time.
Next, let's take a look at 4 changes that occur in a woman's body when she is about to go through menopause. The first is irregular menstruation. During menopause, a woman's ovarian function begins to gradually decline, and follicle development is inhibited, resulting in irregular menstrual cycles. Some women may have early or late periods, too much or too little menstrual flow, etc., which is a normal physiological change and should not be too worried.
This is followed by the appearance of menopausal symptoms. Menopause refers to the period of time before and after a woman enters menopause, when there are significant changes in the woman's body, such as hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, etc. According to TCM theory, these symptoms are related to qi and blood imbalance, liver depression and spleen deficiency and other factors. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that regulating qi and blood and maintaining the liver and kidneys is the key to alleviating menopausal symptoms.
The third is an increased risk of osteoporosis. As ovarian function declines, estrogen levels in a woman's body decrease, which can lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that strengthening kidney qi and enriching the spleen and stomach is conducive to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and some foods that nourish the kidney and strengthen bones can be eaten appropriately, such as black beans, seeds, deer antler velvet, etc.
Finally, there are the fluctuations in psychological emotions. During menopause, a woman's hormone levels change, which can lead to psycho-emotional swings such as anxiety, depression, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that regulating the heart, spleen and stomach qi can stabilize emotions, and some famous prescriptions such as Nourishing Heart and Calming Mind Soup, Xiaoyao Pill and so on can be used to assist in regulation.
To sum up, menopause is a turning point in a woman's life, and there is no definitive answer to what age is it better for a woman to have menopause, which varies from individual to individual. When menopause is approaching, a woman's body will experience changes such as irregular menstruation, menopausal symptoms, increased risk of osteoporosis, and psychological and emotional swings. In order to alleviate the discomfort of menopause, it is recommended that women pay close attention to their physical changes, consult professional doctors in time, and combine the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory to regulate the functions of qi and blood, liver and kidney, heart, spleen and stomach and other organs, so as to achieve the goal of physical and mental health.
