What are the harms of menopause to patients?

Among gynecological diseases, menopause does not sound like a serious disease, but we cannot ignore its existence. So, what are the harms of early menopause in women? Regarding the harm of menopause, generally speaking, physiological menopause is a normal physiological phenomenon, which has nothing to do with diseases, and the harm of menopause is not too great, while primary and secondary menopause are often related to certain diseases. Among them are uterine menopause, ovarian menopause, pituitary menopause, and hypothalamic menopause. Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

The early age of menopause is due to the decline of female ovarian function and the decrease of estrogen level. The decrease of estrogen level will cause a series of symptoms of menopausal syndrome, such as hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, headache, unstable blood pressure, palpitations, bone and joint pain, etc.; the reproductive organs gradually atrophy, resulting in vaginal dryness, vulvar itching, sexual dysfunction, frequent urination, urgency, and inability to hold urine, and it can also cause osteoporosis and abnormal blood lipid metabolism, which are more harmful to women's health.

After menopause, estrogen secretion decreases, which will cause the entire reproductive organ to undergo degenerative changes. The size of the organ tissue decreases, the weight decreases, the blood vessels decrease, the epithelium atrophies, the interstitial fibrosis, and the fat tissue also decreases. As a result, the vulva shrinks significantly, the vulva hair becomes sparse and white, the labia majora becomes flat due to the reduction of fat, and the labia minora and clitoris become smaller. Due to the decrease in sebaceous gland function, the vulva skin becomes dry. The external opening of the urethra and the front wall of the vagina retreat to the top of the vaginal entrance, which makes it easy to get urinary tract infections. The vagina changes from acidic to alkaline, the resistance decreases, and vaginitis is easy to occur. In addition to the vulva and vagina, the uterus and ovaries will also shrink.

If you have endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, breast hyperplasia, physical and mental fatigue, weight gain, irritability and insomnia, dry skin, dull hair, bone and joint pain, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination in time to prevent serious consequences. In addition to the busy work, female friends should take more time to care for their bodies and have a regular gynecological examination every year.
