Many people have heard the saying, "A woman only has 400 eggs in her life, and when she finishes her ovaries, she will 'retire'." In other words, whoever finishes first gets old. Is it true?
Women live really
Only 400 eggs?
First of all, let's be clear, no one has yet counted the number of ovulations in the lifetime of each woman in the world to come up with an average, which is too much work. The conclusion of 400 is nothing more than speculation。This established premise contains 3 average data for women:12 years menarche49 years were terminatedOne egg is released every monthThen the total number of ovulations is 12 37 = 444, which is the origin of the saying "women will release 400 500 eggs in their lifetime". But just as average wages are not a proxy for individual income, this average ovulation does not tell the truth about every woman. If menstruation comes early, stops late, or has a short menstrual cycle, and the number of eggs released per year is greater than 12, then the number of eggs released in a lifetime is much greater than the number of 400. What really makes a woman stop ovulation is not that the number of egg reserves is insufficient, butOvarian aging caused by age, like the aging of other organs and tissues in the human body, is a normal physiological phenomenon, rather than premature ovarian failure caused by short menstrual cycles and excessive ovulation。There is a saying that "the ovaries retire when the eggs are discharged", but in fact this is a causal reversal.
The shorter the menstrual cycle, the faster you age?
There is also a saying that the shorter the menstrual cycle, the faster the ovarian failure, so it looks like it ages faster. Actually,Ovarian failure does have a certain relationship with human aging。The ovaries are an important organ for secreting estrogen in women's bodies, and when the ovaries age and shrink, the secretion of estrogen will also decline, which will cause the reproductive system and organs of the whole body and even the aging of hair and make people look older. But we have already said it abovePeople with short menstrual cycles will not let the eggs be discharged early, and will not affect the function of the ovaries because of this。The length of the menstrual cycle is just a normal physiological phenomenon that varies from person to person, and it is affected by a variety of factors, such as pregnancy, endocrine disorders, or irregular lifestyles. What can really reflect whether the ovaries are aging at an accelerated rate is whether there are obvious changes in the menstrual cycle. If you notice that your menstrual cycle is suddenly shortened by many days compared to before, and it is not an occasional occurrence, you need to be alarmed. From youth to twilight years, from the unspeakable panic of the first visit to the prudence after years of getting along, menstruation not only accompanies every woman through all stages of life, but also intuitively reflects women's mental and physical health. What matters is how to understand it scientifically, without being overly afraid or overly contemptuous. Sticking to a regular schedule and a good attitude to ensure that it comes to a regular way really determines your health status。**Health Times, Popular Science China, China Women's Daily.
