How to delay the onset of menopause and menstruation

Delaying the onset of menopause can be achieved through lifestyle adjustments, nutritional supplementation, stress management, regular exercise, and traditional Chinese medicine regulation. Menopause is a natural process of decline in female physiological functions, but its occurrence can be appropriately delayed through scientific intervention.

1. Adjusting Lifestyle

Maintaining a regular sleep routine helps maintain endocrine balance, avoid staying up late, and prevent overexertion. Smoking cessation and alcohol restriction can reduce ovarian function damage, and long-term smoking can accelerate follicular depletion. Controlling weight within a reasonable range, obesity or excessive weight loss may interfere with hormone secretion.

2. Supplemental nutrition

Phytoestrogens can be supplemented by increasing the intake of soy products appropriately, such as tofu, soybean milk and other soy isoflavones. Supplementing with vitamin E and calcium can help protect ovarian function, and nuts, deep-sea fish, and dairy products are high-quality sources. Avoid excessive dieting that can lead to malnutrition and affect ovarian reserve.

3. Managing Stress

Long term mental stress can accelerate ovarian function decline, and stress can be relieved through meditation, deep breathing, and other methods. Cultivate interests and hobbies to shift attention and maintain good social relationships. When experiencing severe anxiety, seek professional psychological counseling assistance.

4. Regular exercise

Moderate aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, swimming, etc. can improve blood circulation, and exercise 3-5 times a week. Yoga and Pilates can help regulate autonomic nervous system function, but excessive exercise should be avoided to prevent physical exhaustion. Timely replenish water and electrolytes after exercise.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment

TCM believes that insufficient kidney qi is the main cause of premature menopause, and medicinal herbs such as goji berries and angelica can be used based on syndrome differentiation. Moxibustion at acupoints such as Guan Yuan and San Yin Jiao can warm and nourish the lower burner. It is necessary to conduct physical identification and personalized adjustment under the guidance of professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to avoid self abuse of tonics.

Daily attention should be paid to keeping the external genitalia clean and dry, and choosing cotton breathable underwear. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet, and limit the intake of high sugar and high-fat foods. Regularly undergo gynecological examinations and hormone level testing, and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities are found. Menopause is a normal physiological stage, and excessive intervention may bring health risks. It is recommended to take scientific delay measures under the guidance of a doctor, while maintaining a calm attitude and accepting natural changes in the body.
