What to do to delay menopause

　　Correct understanding and stable emotions

　　for all female Generally speaking, menopause is an irreversible natural law of development and should be taken calmly. Many women worry about thinking too much, causing their hearts to grow old before they grow old. It is scary to be old and seek trouble in vain, especially introverted menopausal women, which can easily lead to depression, depression, tension, anxiety, and moodiness. They cannot live as usual, but instead harm themselves and accelerate aging. Therefore, menopausal health care should be: those who are not retired, stick to their posts and work hard ； Those who have retired actively participate in social organizations and activities and use their spare energy.

　　Pay attention to hygiene and check regularly

　　During menopause, women's vaginal mucosa lacks the stimulation and support of estrogen and becomes thinner. The amount of glycogen in the epithelial cells decreases, the vaginal acidity decreases, the local resistance weakens, and the vaginal mucosa is susceptible to pathogenic bacterial infection. Therefore, special attention must be paid to vaginal hygiene. Although menstrual irregularities are an inevitable phenomenon of women's menopause, we should also pay attention to other Gynecology diseases, especially the possibility of gynecological tumors. Therefore, as a precaution, menopausal health care should include a gynecological examination every 3 to 6 months. If, in addition to irregular menstrual cycles, you have increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual periods, seek medical attention promptly to avoid excessive blood loss, which may lead to anemia。

　　Adjust diet and increase activity

　　As age increases, basal metabolism gradually decreases and the need for heat energy decreases. Therefore, menopausal health care requires reasonable dietary adjustments. Otherwise, excessive intake of heat energy will inevitably lead to obesity and Hyperlipidemia And induce coronary heart disease . If the caloric intake of those aged 20 to 39 is used as the standard, those aged 40 to 49 should reduce it by 5%, and those aged 50 to 59 should reduce it by 10%. In addition, carbohydrates should account for 55% to 60% of the total calories in the menopausal diet, mainly cereals, and limit sweets; fat intake should be controlled below 30%, mainly vegetable oils, with a certain amount of lean meat, fish, eggs and other animal proteins, appropriate supplements of soy products, and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. As for salt, it should be controlled below 5 grams per day.

　　In addition, exercise can not only increase heat energy consumption, promote body metabolism, and strengthen physical fitness, but also reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides, increase the content of high-density lipoproteins in the blood, thereby enhancing the body's ability to defend against atherosclerosis; it can also stimulate osteoblasts, increase bone tissue, and prevent osteoporosis. Menopausal women usually need to strengthen exercise , but we should act according to our ability and carry out self-care step by step.

　　Don't neglect sex life

　　Human sexual requirements are separated from the levels of sex hormones in the body. However, due to the decrease in estrogen levels during menopause, the vulva and its functions decrease, such as vulvar dryness, thinning of the mucous membrane, and reduced secretions, which may cause difficulty or pain in sexual life and affect sexual desire, reduce the need for sexual caress, decrease the intensity of sexual excitement, and slow down the time. However, a harmonious sexual life is necessary for menopausal women. It can not only relieve aging and improve nerve Psychiatric symptoms and can enhance women’s self-confidence. Therefore, both husband and wife should explore sexual life skills according to their own circumstances, pay attention to the application of non-sexual intercourse, and improve both parties' desire for sex.
