Premature ovarian failure is a relatively common gynecological disease that will have many adverse effects on women’s health. Therefore, early treatment and recovery are needed. So what are the symptoms of premature ovarian failure? How can women prevent premature ovarian failure? There are many symptoms of premature ovarian failure. Let’s learn more about the specific conditions and what you need to pay attention to.

1. Symptoms of premature ovarian failure

1. Irregular menstruation

The combination of estrogen and progesterone allows women to have normal menstrual cycles and pregnancy. If there is a problem with the ovaries, the two types of hormones cannot be secreted normally, and menstruation will naturally be affected. If the ovaries are properly maintained, they can promote the further development of follicles and secrete estrogen, help the ovaries to ovulate regularly, maintain a stable menstrual cycle and amount, and reduce the occurrence of dysmenorrhea.

2. Low desire

The occurrence of desire is related to two factors, one is the sexual endocrine system and the other is the nervous system. Studies have confirmed that the strength of male and female desire mainly depends on the level of androgen in the body. In addition to secreting estrogen, which has the function of maintaining desire, the ovaries also secrete a small amount of androgens. The health of the ovaries will affect women's desire.

3. Unreasonable weight gain and breast sagging

Estrogen can stimulate and maintain breast development, making women's buttocks thick and full of fat, while progesterone can further promote the development and maturity of breast acini. If ovarian function deteriorates and estrogen secretion is insufficient, it will cause the body to suddenly and rapidly gain weight (especially the waist and abdomen), breasts and buttocks to sag, etc.

4. Chloasma

Chloasma in women is mainly related to high estrogen levels. By maintaining the ovaries, regulating endocrine levels, especially estrogen levels, and with the auxiliary effects of other topical drugs, the appearance of chloasma can be effectively curbed.

5. Osteoporosis

Currently, premature ovarian failure is tending to occur at younger ages, and the incidence rate is getting higher and higher. A hospital randomly checked the physical examination records of 1,500 women and found that 12 women entered early menopause due to poor ovarian health, leading to osteoporosis symptoms such as bone pain, hunchback, and short height caused by decreased estrogen. Crowds account for 3% of the total.

6. Difficulty in Pregnancy

Ovarian function is reduced, estrogen secretion is affected, follicle development is problematic, and women cannot ovulate normally, thus affecting fertility. Nowadays, more and more young women are undergoing in vitro fertilization. According to reports, at a certain hospital in Beijing, 5% to 10% of women choose in vitro fertilization due to premature loss of ovarian function.

7. Menopausal symptoms come early

After the age of 30, women begin to enter a period of declining ovarian function, but this is still far from menopause. Generally speaking, women begin to enter menopause after the age of 45. If menopausal symptoms such as reduced menstruation, hot flashes, and sweating occur early in your 30s, it is likely that the ovaries are aging prematurely, which is often called "premature ovarian failure."

2. Foods to prevent premature ovarian failure

1. Cucumber: crisp and delicious, has heat-clearing, thirst-quenching, and diuretic effects. The fiber it contains can promote the elimination of food waste from the intestines, thereby reducing the absorption of cholesterol. Cucumber also contains a substance called "propanoic acid", which can inhibit the conversion of sugar in the body into fat, and has the effect of losing weight and adjusting lipid metabolism.

2. Eggplant: Contains a variety of vitamins, especially purple eggplant, which contains more vitamin P, which can enhance cell adhesion and improve capillary elasticity. Studies have shown that eggplant can lower cholesterol, prevent vascular damage caused by hyperlipidemia, and can assist in the treatment of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and other diseases.

3. Mung beans: a good product for cleaning up in summer, with specific functions of lowering blood lipids, protecting the heart, and preventing and treating coronary heart disease. Studies have shown that mung beans can effectively reduce serum cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein, and significantly reduce coronary atherosclerotic lesions.

4. Shiitake mushrooms: It has the functions of digestion, fat removal, and blood pressure reduction. The fiber contained in it promotes gastrointestinal motility, prevents constipation, and reduces intestinal absorption of cholesterol. Mushrooms also contain nucleic acid substances such as purine, which can promote the decomposition of cholesterol. Regular consumption of shiitake mushrooms can lower total cholesterol and triglycerides.

5. Eat more carrots: British nutritionists have found that women who eat carrots an average of 5 times a week are 50% less likely to develop ovarian cancer than ordinary women, and American experts have also found reached similar conclusions.

6. Sweet potatoes: Nutritional studies have found that eating sweet potatoes in moderation can prevent lipid deposition in the cardiovascular system, prevent atherosclerosis, reduce subcutaneous fat, and avoid excessive obesity. It should be noted that excessive intake of sweet potatoes can increase the total calories consumed, which is not conducive to lowering blood lipids.

7. Hawthorn: Mainly contains maslinic acid, citric acid, lipolytic acid, vitamin C, flavonoids, carbohydrates and other ingredients. It has the functions of dilating blood vessels, improving microcirculation, lowering blood pressure, promoting cholesterol excretion and lowering blood lipids. role. Hawthorn is an acidic food, so it should not be eaten on an empty stomach or for too long. It is best to eat it after a meal.

8. Apples: Studies have shown that eating an apple a day can reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease by half. This is attributed to the flavonoids contained in apples. Flavonoids are natural antioxidants that exert anti-atherosclerotic effects by inhibiting LDL oxidation.

In addition, the pectin in apples can also lower cholesterol levels and therefore help prevent atherosclerosis.

3. Good habits to maintain ovaries

1. Maintenance of "spool body"

To maintain ovaries, we should not only focus on the ovaries, but also focus on the internal reproductive system - - The ovaries, uterus, reproductive tract - are all regulated. This is called the "spool body" balance theory.

2. Emotions are very important

Girls who love to laugh will have good luck, and girls who love to laugh will also have good health. Laughing even a little bit from time to time is also a great way to keep your ovaries healthy and your body and mind young, and your body will feel relaxed and comfortable whether you are actually happy or not.

3. Pay attention to your diet

Eat less fried foods and animal fats, and more fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits. Facts have proven that foods rich in vitamin E and vitamin B2 are of great significance for ovarian maintenance, such as corn oil, cod liver oil, lettuce, eggs and soybeans.

You should also eat light and nourishing blood. Animal liver, rib soup, and soy milk are all delicious foods suitable for pampering yourself during menstruation.

4. Daily maintenance methods for ovaries

1. Prevention of premature ovarian failure

Women who are often busy and stressed and have irregular menstruation need to be alert to premature ovarian failure. To prevent premature ovarian failure, you should keep a happy mood and eat less stimulating foods. Women's long-term depression and discomfort will directly affect their breasts and ovaries. Long-term liver qi stagnation will inevitably directly affect ovarian function. Avoid sitting for long periods of time and staying up late for long periods of time.

2. Do not take hormone drugs indiscriminately

Do not blindly take medications on your own. Improper hormone supplementation can lead to overstimulation of the ovaries and produce significant side effects. How to take care of your ovaries? The latest research shows that daily intake of calcium-rich foods can reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer. Consult your doctor to take appropriate pills or preparations to supplement vitamin C and vitamin E. Increasing foods rich in folic acid can reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer in women. It is a water-soluble vitamin B that is rich in green vegetables, citrus fruits and whole grain foods. Eat more carrots.

3. Do not use inferior hair dyes and whitening cosmetics

Inferior hair dyes and whitening cosmetics contain benzene and mercury compounds; at the same time, hydrocarbon substitutes contained in detergents , alkyl sulfonates and other ingredients. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes, causing damage to women's ovarian function, thereby affecting women's reproductive function.

4. Maintain a regular sexual life

A regular sexual life enables women to have a good endocrine environment, which is beneficial to the health of the ovaries. But at the same time, avoid excessive sexual intercourse. Frequent sexual intercourse directly damages kidney essence, kidney yin, kidney yang, etc., leading to kidney qi failure, which directly causes ovarian function decline, dryness of female private parts, aggravated amenorrhea, etc.

5. Eat a nutritious and balanced diet and exercise more

Picky eaters and dieting will cause malnutrition and reduce the body's immunity. Therefore, we need to increase nutrition and strengthen exercise. Eating more liver, brain and other animal offal is beneficial to the synthesis of sex hormones, and vitamins are also essential nutrients. It is advisable to eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. Eat less raw, cold, spicy and other foods.

Pay attention to hygiene and pay attention to daily care. If gynecological inflammation is found, treatment should be carried out as soon as possible to avoid infection of the ovaries.

7. Put an end to improper dieting to lose weight

It is the most unhealthy eating habit for women to lose weight through dieting and vegetarianism. Women who need to lose weight must learn to lose weight scientifically. Blind dieting and long-term vegetarianism will lead to malnutrition and insufficient protein intake. When the human body is deficient in protein, it affects the function of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient secretion of gonadotropin and ovarian hypofunction and atrophy. If a woman's body fat is lower than a certain ratio, it will also affect menstruation, cause menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, and even cause ovarian ovulation disorders, leading to infertility.

8. The most important thing is nourishing blood

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women are based on blood, and qi and blood are the material basis for menstruation, fetal maintenance, and breastfeeding, so we must pay attention to nourishing blood in daily life. , eat more medicines and foods that nourish the liver, kidneys, and qi and blood. Under the guidance of a doctor and according to your own situation, you can take traditional Chinese medicines such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Astragalus membranaceus, donkey-hide gelatin, motherwort, Millet Spatholobus, wolfberry, etc., as well as red dates, brown sugar, rice wine, chicken, longan, grapes, pig liver, pig blood, Red beans and other foods.

9. Appropriate supplementation of phytoestrogens

The most classic method in medicine to prolong the youthful state of the ovaries is to supplement estrogen. Estrogen is like water injected into the human body, which can help restore women's health. Lovely and beautiful, it makes the skin glow. However, estrogen supplementation requires the guidance of a doctor. If you have diseases such as breast cancer, estrogen is not suitable.

As a substitute for estrogen, soybeans are rich in isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens that are very close to the human body. Women drinking 500 ml of soy milk or eating more than 100 grams of soy products every day have a good effect on improving hormone secretion. Royal jelly is also a good choice. It contains trace amounts of estrogen, which can just make up for the lack of estrogen in women.

10. Protein is essential

Ovarian aging is gradually dominated by catabolism. Protein can help the construction and repair of human tissues and is the most valuable nutrient for protecting the ovaries. Studies have shown that , women who often eat fish, shrimp, and drink milk will have later menopause. Vitamin D has the effect of regulating estrogen balance, and vitamins C, E and carotene are the best elements for anti-aging. You should usually eat more beans, fish, shrimp, milk, eggs, fungus and various fresh vegetables.

11. The further away from computer radiation, the better

Research shows that computer radiation will affect egg quality, but it is impossible to completely avoid computer radiation. Most people think that by replacing it with an LCD screen, they can stay away from computer radiation. In fact, the biggest radiation source is not the display screen but the power supply. American health experts say that laptops emit much less radiation than desktops. The best way to avoid computer radiation is to charge the laptop, unplug it, and use the battery to work.

12. Eat less fried eggs

Women who often eat fried eggs will increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Because the process of frying eggs will lead to the formation of many biologically active decomposition products, such as cholesterol oxides, etc. These products have a great cytotoxic effect, especially affecting the affinity of female ovarian tissue, and in turn can become cancer and tumor inducers, increasing the possibility of ovarian cancer. In addition, fried, deep-fried potatoes and smoked pork are also causes of ovarian cancer.

13. A glass of red wine every day

The Dutch Women's Health Research Institute found that drinking a small glass of red wine every day can increase egg activity by 20%. The polyphenols in red wine can make eggs healthier. The polyphenol content in white wine is only 10% lower than red wine, which is also a healthy choice. However, the yeast in beer can "hypnotize" the ovaries and reduce egg activity, so it is better to drink less.

14. Do some yoga exercises if you have nothing to do

Yoga practitioners can dredge female organs through special exercise movements, special breathing methods, and more importantly, mental adjustments. It can improve the circulation of Qi and blood and adjust the secretion of hormones, especially for irregular menstruation, blocked fallopian tubes, relaxation of postpartum female private parts, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. At the same time, it can also strengthen the body's kidney function, restore the "vital energy" lost by women due to miscarriage or childbirth, make women exude a youthful atmosphere from the inside out, and delay aging.
