Reasons for the definition of menopause: 1994 The World Health Organization (WHO) also put forward a new definition of perimenopausal period to replace the word "menopause" at the meeting on "the research progress of menopause in the 1990s". Perimenopausal period can be as short as 2 ~ 3 years or as long as 8 ~12 years. When did menopause begin? It is vague in most women's memory. Most women can only tell when menopause happened, but they often can't remember when they began to feel unwell and when the symptoms disappeared. However, not being menopausal does not mean not entering menopause.
In recent years, the content of male menopause has been added.
One? Female menopause: also known as perimenopausal syndrome, also known as menopausal syndrome (MPS), refers to a series of syndromes with autonomic nervous system dysfunction and neuropsychological symptoms caused by the fluctuation or decrease of sex hormones before and after menopause.
Female menopausal symptoms: 1, menstrual disorder:
What are the symptoms of female menopause? It is the most common and outstanding performance of menopausal women. Menstruation is often delayed, even only once every few months, and the amount of menstruation is gradually reduced. When estrogen is less and less, it can no longer cause endometrial changes, menstruation stops, which is called menopause.
2, backache:
Low back pain is an early symptom of osteoporosis in menopausal women, with pain in waist and back limbs, scapulohumeral periarthritis and cervical spondylosis in some women.
3. Neurological and mental disorders:
Some women have obvious fluctuation of blood pressure, and may have emotional instability, excitability, personality change and memory loss.
Symptom 4, hot flashes: What are the symptoms of female menopause? It is one of the main features of menopause. Because of the decrease of estrogen level, some women's blood calcium level also decreases, and they will have bouts of fever, blushing and sweating, accompanied by dizziness and palpitation, lasting for one or two minutes or 12 minutes to15 minutes.
Precautions for female menopause: 1. Wear several layers of clothes, preferably cotton products inside. If there is hot flashes, take off your clothes outside. In addition, at the beginning of hot flashes, drink a glass of cold water or cold juice.
2. Wear cotton pajamas and keep the bedroom cool. Put more sheets on the bed. Wet the sheets when hot flashes occur, and you can take them off.
Pay attention to your diet, don't drink, and don't eat spicy food.
4. Keep exercising. Some women find that persistent exercise can reduce the influence of hot flashes and help them sleep.
5. Eat more tofu. Beans contain a substance belonging to the same genus as estrogen, which may help relieve symptoms such as hot flashes. You can also drink cold soybean milk at the beginning of hot flashes.
6. Be patient. The symptom of menopause is "rabbit's tail-it won't grow". It will gradually disappear in 3-5 years at the longest.
7. Deal with vaginal dryness. It seems that the decrease of sexual desire is related to vaginal dryness. Because vaginal dryness can cause sexual pain. There are vaginal lubricating creams on the market, including estrogen-containing and estrogen-free water-soluble ones, which can lubricate the vagina and solve the problem of vaginal dryness during sexual intercourse.
From a health point of view, some symptoms of menopause are not a big problem. More important is the long-term health effect after menopause. Today, women have at least 30 years after menopause. These 30 years can be very healthy and happy. However, due to the obvious decrease of estrogen level in the body, the risk of two health-threatening diseases has increased significantly. One of them is heart disease. Before menopause, few women died of heart disease. After menopause, the number of women who died of heart disease began to increase. By the age of 75, the probability of heart disease is basically the same for men and women.
At the age of 65, the number of women who died of heart disease and cancer was almost the same. By the age of 75, heart disease has become the main killer of women. Another major health threat after menopause is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can cause fractures and seriously affect the quality of life of women in their later years. Women's bone density is not as high as that of men from birth, and the bone loss rate is faster than that of men after menopause. This is why many women get osteoporosis after the age of 65. Therefore, it is important for women to recognize these dangers and start prevention before menopause. Good health habits are the best way to prevent heart disease and osteoporosis.

Male menopause: Male menopause refers to a specific period in which men transition from middle age to old age. It is a transition period based on the changes of hormone levels, biochemical environment and psychological state in men. If the change process is too intense, it will adversely affect the function of multiple organ systems and reduce the quality of life, and it will show some abnormal symptoms or (and) signs of body and mind, accompanied by a decrease in serum testosterone level, which is called male climacteric syndrome.
1939 Heller, an Istanbul psychologist, first put forward the term "male menopause", but it was not accepted by the medical community until 1994, when the Austrian urological society put forward the term "partial androgen deficiency in middle-aged and elderly men". At present, there are many references to male menopause, such as "male menopause, androgen deficiency, delayed hypogonadism".
Male menopause is caused by the deterioration of testicular function. Testicular degeneration and atrophy is slow and gradual, and the secretion of sex hormones is also slow, and the production of sperm does not completely disappear during menopause. Male menopause comes late and appears at a very inconsistent time. The onset age is generally around 55-65 years old, and the clinical manifestations vary, ranging from light to unconscious, to severe, affecting life and work, and patients feel very painful.
Male climacteric symptoms: 1, liver and kidney yin deficiency: symptoms include dizziness, backache, tinnitus, night sweats, irritability, flushed face, hot hands and feet, dry mouth and throat, short and red urine, red tongue and thready pulse.
2, urinary aging: around 50 years old, the human glomerular filtration rate will gradually decline, blood urea nitrogen began to rise, renal tubular function decreased significantly, urine concentration function also decreased sharply. Therefore, after entering menopause, I often feel that I have too much urine at night, and I have a feeling of urine or residual urine. Symptoms of heart-kidney disharmony include restlessness, insomnia, palpitation, dizziness, backache, forgetfulness, vexation and fever, reddish tongue and rapid pulse.
3, reproductive organs aging: after entering menopause, reproductive organs will also appear obvious aging phenomenon, which is caused by the gradual decline of gonadal function; It is also the most important link that affects the character, mood and thinking of the elderly. If we do not face it with healthy ideas, it will lead to the emergence of "menopausal syndrome".

Reasonable diet. Strengthen diet, eat more soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain the daily calorie at about 2000kcal(8668kj), and reduce sugar and fatty foods, especially limit the amount of animal fat and fat.
1, mussel antihypertensive
After men enter menopause, they first show their posture, such as the whole body muscles are not as strong and elastic as when they were young. This is because the skin fat is gradually increasing, and the weight is obviously increased. The whole person looks not only bloated, but also the skin is particularly relaxed. On the one hand, this result has much to do with middle-aged men eating more and moving less, on the other hand, it may be caused by metabolic disorder of the body.
Mussels are called "eggs in the sea", and their nutritional value is higher than that of seafood such as shrimp, crab, sea cucumber and scallop, and their fat, protein, minerals, carbohydrates and vitamins are much higher than that of yellow croaker. The mussel also contains a lot of iodine and unsaturated fatty acids, especially the proportion of tetracarboxylic acid 16. 6%, and tetracarboxylic acid is one of the essential fatty acids supplied by food, which cannot be synthesized in human body. Essential fatty acids are very important for maintaining normal physiological functions, promoting development, protecting the skin, and lowering blood pressure and lipid.
2. Drink black soy milk
Male menopause is caused by decreased hormone secretion. When men around 50 years old enter menopause, with the decrease of androgen level, bone mineral density will also decrease. At this time, fractures are more likely to occur.
Black beans are not only rich in calcium, but also contain more lecithin and saponin. Lecithin can reduce "bad cholesterol" and prevent arteriosclerosis, while saponin has strong antioxidant effect and can effectively prevent cancer and obesity. Stir-fry black beans and sesame seeds separately, put them in a food processor and crush them, and then drink them with milk or soybean milk, so that their nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body. Middle-aged men can effectively supplement calcium by drinking a cup of 200 ml of black soy milk before breakfast or dinner every day.
3. Mulberry soothes the nerves
Male menopausal symptoms are mostly manifested in mental and neurological aspects, such as irritability, insomnia, headache, memory loss, nervousness, burnout, unstable cardiovascular function, etc. Therefore, eating more foods that improve the nervous system and cardiovascular function will help soothe the nerves and nourish the heart, and alleviate the symptoms of nervous system and cardiovascular diseases.
Mulberry can be used as both food and medicine. Chinese medicine believes that mulberry is sweet and sour, slightly cold, and enters the heart, liver and kidney meridians, which is a good fruit for nourishing and strengthening, nourishing the heart and improving intelligence. Mulberry contains many vitamins, more than ten kinds of amino acids and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper and zinc. Its nutrition is 5-6 times that of apples and 4 times that of grapes.
Therefore, it is called "folk sacred fruit". Cooking porridge with mulberry and glutinous rice, adding a little crystal sugar or honey when it is ripe, once a day, can achieve the effects of nourishing brain, nourishing heart, nourishing liver and kidney, nourishing blood and improving eyesight. Male climacteric dizziness, backache, feverish hands and feet, restlessness and palpitation and insomnia can often eat mulberry.
4, mutton strength
Weakening sexual desire is also a symptom of most men after entering menopause. In principle, middle-aged men's sexual life should not be excessive, otherwise the body will age too fast, but they can't live without sex, otherwise the ability to produce semen will decline. As long as sexual life is normalized, you don't feel tired or too little.
Therefore, we should eat more foods that can improve and enhance gonadal function. Because, after the improvement of gonadal function, it can fundamentally alleviate various symptoms of menopause. Foods with this function are: mutton, shrimp, sheep kidney, sea cucumber, fish belly, loach, sparrow, leek, walnut, sesame and so on.

2, timely psychological vent.
There are two ways to relieve psychological distress. One way is self-persuasion, self-liberation, that is, thinking from another angle can lead to a completely new conclusion. The other way is to release emotions with the help of others. If you are depressed, you can find your fellow villagers, classmates and close friends to vent, or cry bitterly to vent your psychological depression.
