1. Will people gain weight during and after menopause? What should I pay attention to in order to control my weight? Between menopause, there is indeed a tendency to gain weight. Usually, women will gain about 2.5Kg during menopause. The reason is that as a biological organism, when it is about to enter old age, it will activate the intelligent mechanism of “energy conservation” to prepare for the emergency needs of old age, that is, by lowering the basal metabolic rate of the body and reserving some fat in case it becomes old and weak, and its ability to find food decreases, so that it cannot get enough food and endangers its life due to hunger. This life-sustaining wisdom has been quietly developed by humans over millions of years of evolution. However, the pace of social advancement has far exceeded human evolution. Modern society has provided humans with increasingly safe and comfortable environments, and increasingly delicious and abundant food. Women in menopause, if they can not open their legs and keep their mouths shut, it is inevitable that they will gain more weight on top of their natural weight gain. Therefore, menopausal women should pay extra attention to maintain a healthy lifestyle, control their weight and maintain a beautiful body shape. 2. I am 55 years old but not yet menopausal, will this cause problems? The normal age of menopause for women is 40-55 years old, and menopause after 55 years old is called late onset menopause. Late onset menopause is especially important for the health of the breast and endometrium. Because these areas are sensitive to estrogen, the risk of cancer increases with long-term estrogenic effects. Therefore, annual medical checkups are very important and must be attended on time. When breast lumps and abnormal uterine bleeding occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive advice from your doctor for further examination and treatment. 3.Why do some people have more severe menopausal symptoms and others have less? Menopausal symptoms do vary from person to person, not only in degree, but also in type and duration. The individualization of menopausal symptoms depends on various social, psychological and physical factors. A social and family atmosphere that respects the elderly reduces menopausal symptoms; a high level of education and a more affluent lifestyle results in fewer menopausal symptoms; an open and positive attitude towards menopause results in fewer symptoms; less physical activity, excessive obesity or wasting results in more menopausal symptoms. The physiological basis of menopausal symptoms is the decline of ovarian function, which leads to the disruption of nerve center function and various menopausal symptoms. 4.Is there any way to prevent menopause syndrome or to reduce its symptoms before menopause arrives? There are three effective ways to prevent menopause syndrome. The first is to understand menopause correctly, knowing that it is a physiological process that every healthy woman must go through, and accept it with an open mind; the second is to go through it in a positive way, experiencing the wisdom inherent in menopause, discovering the subtle changes and revelations in the body, and improving the poor lifestyles that have accumulated over the decades, so that this stage can be rejuvenated and set the stage for a healthy old age; the third is to The rational use of medication. To date there is no medication that can be used to prevent menopause, nor is it necessary to use medication to prevent such a physiological process; the benefits and risks can be maximized and avoided by the rational use of medication under the guidance of a medical professional.
