Beauty and Health Sutra of Female Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chapter 6 Healthy femininity comes from the breast, uterus and ovary (4)
inability to conceive a baby
Ovulation disorders account for 30% to 40% of the many factors that affect conception, such as ovulation disorders, fallopian tube dysfunction, endometriosis, and immune factors.If you can't ovulate, you can't get pregnant. This is the truth that everyone understands.

Ovulatory disorders include no ovulation, infrequent ovulation, or irregular ovulation, and often occur in women who have frequent amenorrhea, infrequent menstrual periods, or abnormal endometrial bleeding.But ovulation disorders can also occur in women with regular menstrual cycles.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is ovulation dysfunction caused by abnormal pituitary hormones, which can lead to infertility.And everyone knows that the ovulation work is done by the ovaries, so we must be alert to the impact of poor ovulation work on pregnancy.

Since the early pregnancy process must rely on the maintenance of progesterone, and the main source of progesterone is the corpus luteum of the ovary, if there is not enough progesterone in the 7th to 9th week of pregnancy, it is easy to cause early embryo abortion.

In addition, once the various functions of the ovary change or are affected by diseases, it will lead to infertility.There is a lady who has not conceived for 3 years after marriage.Her menstruation became less and less, and the interval between two menstrual periods became longer and longer, close to amenorrhea, but she gradually became obese, and her hair became thicker and thicker.After inspection, it was found that the bilateral ovaries were too large, and endocrine testing: androgen and luteinizing hormone were too high.

It can be seen that the occurrence of infertility is closely related to the ovary and must not be taken lightly.Causes of infertility are:
Local factors

Such as congenital absence of ovary or immature ovary, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary, ovarian granulosa cell tumor, follicular cell tumor, ovarian blastoma, etc. can affect ovarian hormone secretion and ovulation. Some important nutritional factors, chronic diseases, metabolic diseases, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, diabetes, adrenal dysfunction, etc. can lead to ovarian infertility.In addition, dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, pituitary tumors or scars can cause ovarian dysfunction and lead to infertility. Early ovarian failure can also lead to ovarian infertility. This disease is also called early menopause syndrome. Ovarian function ceases activity prematurely.Generally, the ovaries of normal women gradually cease to move and menopause occurs when they are around 45 years old, while patients with this disease gradually stop their ovarian activities and experience menopause when they are 30 to 40 years old.Some people may manifest as menstrual disorders first and then menopause, and some may have sudden amenorrhea, and more than half of the patients may have symptoms such as facial flushing and heating.Women should have their sex hormones, breasts, and endometrium checked regularly to avoid this from happening.

Early menopause

Menopause is a life stage that women must go through in their life. It refers to the process of female friends transitioning from fertility to infertility. It usually begins after the age of 45.But now, there are also many female friends who start to have symptoms of menopause at many years old, that is, recessive menopause.Many female friends think that early menopause is not a bad thing, and even think that it saves a lot of trouble, but in fact, it seriously affects the health of female friends and should be treated in time.

Early menopause is associated with premature ovarian failure.The incidence of premature ovarian failure is 1% to 3.8%, which is already a relatively high figure.About 70% of people with premature ovarian failure have menstrual changes first, such as decreased menstrual flow or longer intervals, and only a very small number of people suddenly stop menstruating.The abnormality and cessation of menstruation just marks the aging of the body.

After menopause, estrogen becomes deficient, which not only affects fertility and sex life, but also causes many diseases.After menopause, the mortality rate of heart disease ranks first.Lack of estrogen will also increase the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality.Some women also experience premature tooth loss, rapid aging of the skin, poor vaginal elasticity, thinning of the mucous membrane, and easy bleeding and infection.Whether it can delay the arrival of menopause is also the key to prolonging youth.Stimulate your own estrogen through ovarian maintenance instead of drug-induced estrogen, which can enhance the body's anti-aging ability, thereby maintaining normal physiological needs and delaying aging.Therefore, white-collar women should pay attention to changes in their own ovarian function in a timely manner, and intervene early to slow down ovarian aging and delay aging.

In daily life, menopausal women can eat more miscellaneous grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc., which are conducive to stabilizing ovarian function.Hormone supplementation therapy with drugs can also maintain the basic characteristics of women, prevent breast atrophy, keep skin elastic, and ensure sexual life between husband and wife.If you need drugs to supplement estrogen, be sure to consult your doctor first.

Beauty review, put an end to all kinds of behaviors that harm the ovaries

rarely eat soy

Persistence of youth is the dream of all women, and permanence of youth largely depends on the ovaries.With the acceleration of the pace of life in modern society, women's traditional eating habits have been replaced by fast food culture, which hinders the nutrition of the ovaries.

The effect of soybean on women's health mainly depends on the content of soy isoflavones.Soy isoflavone is a kind of phytoestrogen similar in structure to estrogen and has estrogenic activity. It can effectively regulate blood lipids, lower cholesterol, protect cardiovascular, stabilize mood, delay female cell aging, maintain skin elasticity, and reduce calcium loss. Relieve symptoms of menopausal syndrome in women, etc.

Especially for middle-aged female friends, it is necessary to consume more than [-] mg of soy isoflavones every day to more effectively delay aging and improve menopausal symptoms.

It should also be noted that soybeans should not be eaten during the recovery period of the operation, that is to say, do not eat soybeans before the wound is removed, so as not to cause abdominal flatulence, which is not good for wound recovery.After the recovery period, you can eat more beans to supplement soy isoflavones.

Excessive consumption of dairy products

Dairy products are an important source of calcium in the daily diet.Calcium-rich dairy products can strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis, but excessive consumption of dairy products is harmful rather than beneficial.Especially for women, excessive consumption of dairy products can increase the risk of ovarian cancer.

There is a link between the risk of ovarian cancer and intake of milk, dairy products and lactose.Women who ate the most full-fat dairy had a 27 percent higher risk of ovarian cancer than women who ate the least.Therefore, excessive intake of dairy products may induce ovarian cancer.

The reason is that the main component of fresh milk is water, whole fresh milk contains about 3% animal fat, and low-fat milk contains about 1.5% animal fat.As long as you don't drink many cups of milk a day, you won't consume too much animal fat, and it won't affect your health.

overeating diet pills
Some female friends talk about losing weight all the year round, regard weight loss as the top priority, and are keen to try various weight loss methods, and even buy various weight loss drugs.Inappropriate weight loss, especially taking diet pills, is often at the expense of your own health. "A drug is three-point poison", and the same is true for weight loss drugs.Long-term use of weight-loss drugs will cause great harm to women's health.

If a young woman loses weight excessively and takes some weight-loss drugs continuously in an attempt to achieve the goal of weight loss, it will directly lead to a serious decline in ovarian function, just like the ovarian function of a postmenopausal woman around 60 years old, and symptoms such as irregular menstruation will also appear.

Excessive use of diet pills can also seriously disrupt the endocrine balance of women.Dysfunction in any part of any related organ will lead to abnormal hormone secretion and mutual regulation, which will inhibit the formation of pituitary gland and ovarian estrogen and progesterone, and eventually cause abnormal ovulation. This phenomenon is endocrine disorder, which in turn leads to premature ovarian failure.

Once premature ovarian failure develops to the stage of amenorrhea, it can not only cause infertility, but also cause symptoms such as osteoporosis and lipid metabolism disorders in patients.Excessive diet pills will destroy the body's natural balance, so women who want to lose weight must pay attention.

Often sedentary
A clerical worker in a company, married for 3 years but not pregnant, has been busy with work and didn't care.Later, after reading the news on the Internet that "long-term sitting can lead to ovarian hypoxia and infertility", I was very scared.Because during her working hours, except for going to the pantry and bathroom, she almost always sits in front of the computer.So I went to the hospital for an examination, and it turned out that it was because of sedentary ovarian hypoxia, which led to premature ovarian failure and was unable to conceive.

Nowadays, about 10% of women of childbearing age suffer from infertility, especially the office workers.

Disadvantages of sitting for a long time 1: Long-term sitting will lead to hypoxia in the ovaries, and lack of exercise will cause the invasion of germs and increase gynecological inflammation, and it will also easily cause nutritional imbalance and obesity.Especially for those who have the problem of excessive anteversion or retroversion of the uterus, sitting for a long time can also cause menstrual blood to flow back into the ovaries, causing lower abdominal pain and other problems.

Disadvantage of sitting for a long time 2: Women who sit and work for a long time, because they maintain a posture for a long time, the pelvic cavity is very easy to congest, which will cause blood circulation in the uterine appendages and cervix to be blocked.In addition, sitting for a long time will reduce the ventilation environment of the genitals. The combination of these two factors will make infection more likely to occur, leading to cervicitis, cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, and cervical polyps.

Moreover, since the cervical nerves are dominated by the visceral nervous system, the sensitivity to pain is very low. Therefore, after inflammation and other discomforts, it is often difficult for women to detect them in time, which leads to delays in treatment.

Disadvantage of sitting for a long time 3: Sitting for a long time will also cause menstrual blood stasis to not flow out smoothly. If the blood stasis accumulates for a long time, the blood clot will become a lump, which will cause chocolate cysts, which is endometriosis.Chocolate cysts will be accompanied by symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, changes in menstrual blood volume, dyspareunia, and infertility. Some women may experience menstrual disorders.

Disadvantage 4 of sitting for a long time: sedentary can easily cause Qi and blood circulation disorders in women, affect women's normal ovulation, and also cause lymphatic or blood embolism, which in turn will lead to fallopian tube blockage.These harms caused by sedentary will cause ovarian infertility in women of childbearing age.

To improve this situation, it is recommended that all sedentary women should not sit and work for more than 2 hours at a time, exercise for about 2 minutes every 10 hours, and take the opportunity to send faxes and copy documents to move around For a while, exercise your neck, waist, and legs.At least 30 minutes of activity every day is also indispensable for women to maintain their bodies.Also, when commuting by bus, get off two stops ahead of time and walk; instead of taking the elevator when going upstairs, take the stairs; when commercials are broadcast on TV, stand up and walk around.Of course, it's even better if you can find time to take part in physical exercise every week.Give the body organs, especially the ovaries in the pelvic cavity a space to "breathe", take care of her like a baby, treat her like a friend, I believe the ovaries will give you a youthful and beautiful appearance.

long-term smoking and drinking
Times change, and people's aesthetic concepts are also constantly changing. Smoking has gradually become an avant-garde symbol in the minds of some female friends, but this is really a "beautiful misunderstanding", because women's smoking is particularly harmful to themselves, especially affecting the skin. healthy.

Nicotine in cigarettes can cause a series of endocrine dysfunction, which in turn affects women's ovulation cycle.Once the ovulation cycle is disrupted, irregular menstruation may occur, which will lead to an imbalance in the secretion of progesterone.The high incidence of tumors in some women is closely related to the abnormal secretion of estrogen and progesterone.Smoking also reduces fertility and increases susceptibility to infertility.Pregnant women who smoke more than 12 cigarettes per day have a miscarriage rate more than double that of non-smoking pregnant women, and the incidence of premature birth is twice as high.

Excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to premature ovarian failure.Alcohol has a great effect on a woman's ovaries.Excessive drinking in women can hinder the development and maturation of eggs.Long-term alcohol use may lead to weakened female sexual characteristics, atrophy of the ovaries, and infertility and birth of deformed fetuses.Women who often drink heavily show symptoms such as low libido, orgasmic disorder, pain during sexual intercourse, and vaginismus. Their ovaries will gradually shrink due to alcoholism, menopause will be significantly earlier, and their life expectancy will be shortened.
