There are many measures for self-care and nursing, such as: reasonable diet, proper exercise, quitting smoking and drinking, regular physical examination, and keeping optimistic mood. This can not only relieve the symptoms of menopausal discomfort, but also prevent diseases. Through these health care measures, middle-aged people will certainly get healthy bodies, spend the menopause safely and spend the rest of their lives safely. 1. Menopause: a special period for middle-aged people.
A person's life, from the beginning of life to the death of aging, goes through three stages, namely childhood and adolescence, adulthood and old age. In these three stages, there are two transition periods. One is from childhood to adulthood, that is, adolescence; One is the transition from middle age to old age, which is called menopause.
Middle age is not only a period of physical decline, but also a golden period of life. Therefore, middle-aged people must do a good job of self-care in menopause.
A specific stage that human beings go through from middle age to old age is called menopause. This is a necessary stage for the human body from maturity to aging, a natural phenomenon of physiological function degradation and change, and a prelude for the human body to enter old age.
"Menopause" mainly shows the decline or imbalance of endocrine function, and the most prominent is the change of gonadal function. This change, whether light or heavy, will cause a series of imbalances in various systems in the body, weaken the stability of human nervous system function and mental activity, thus leading to the decline of human adaptability to the environment and sensitivity to various mental factors and physical diseases, resulting in emotional fluctuations and emotional variability, and can induce a variety of diseases.
Female menopause generally occurs around 45-50 years old, mainly manifested as menstrual cycle disorder and other symptoms, and finally menstruation naturally terminates. The experience time before and after menopause is generally 65438 0 ~ 2 years or 4 ~ 5 years. For every woman, menopause comes early and late. The late 55-year-old is still menstruating, and the early 35-year-old has naturally passed menopause. If menopause is earlier than 40 years old, it is called "early menopause", and if menopause is later than 55 years old, it is called "late menopause". If ovariectomy or radiotherapy is performed for some reason and the ovarian function is artificially stopped, menopause is called "artificial menopause".
According to the law of the decline of human physiological function, both men and women have to go through a process of gradual physiological decline and eventually enter old age. This recession transition period is the menopause stage. Therefore, women all have menopause, and men are no exception.
The changes of physiology and signs in male menopause are not as obvious as those in female. For example, the function of male reproductive organs and testicles is gradually reduced, but it will not lead to complete loss of function. The main change of sexual physiology is the low function of testis to produce sperm and secrete androgen. According to some data, the amount of sperm produced by testicles after 40 years old is obviously lower than that produced by testicles before 40 years old, but even when men reach old age, sperm still occurs, so it is not surprising that ancient rare old people gave birth to children. It is reported that a 94-year-old man is very happy to have his son. However, the ability of the testicles of the elderly to produce sperm has been greatly weakened than before. Moreover, while the spermatogenic capacity of testis is gradually decreasing, the level of testosterone secreted by testis is also gradually decreasing, which is related to the decrease in the number of testosterone-secreting cells (beneficial cells) in testis. Therefore, the function of male reproductive organs testis also has a gradual decline process, but it will not completely lose its function. This is essentially different from the changes of gonads and sex hormones in female menopause. Because of this, there are almost no obvious signs of anovulation, menopause and loss of fertility in men entering menopause, and the obvious symptoms of autonomic nerve dysfunction that follow. However, men in this period will also have many physical and psychological crises.
