Middle-aged women approach or enter the age of menopause generally speaking at an average age of about 45 years. The age of menopause is around 50 years for urban women and 47 years for rural women, and with increased urbanization, the difference between urban and rural areas is less pronounced. Women around 40 years old do not have any organic diseases detected in outpatient examinations, but they always feel unwell, with symptoms such as chest tightness and panic, sighing then relief, headache and insomnia, irritability and paranoia, etc. Some of them are found to have menopausal syndrome during further examination. Han Xiaoming, director of the preventive health department of the hospital, lists the following self-assessments to better grasp their situation and do preventive health care for women’s reproductive health by making simple judgments and predictions on their own. So how to predict whether you are entering menopause? 1.Prediction through family genetics Since the age of menopause and genetics have a certain relationship, the age of menopause of a woman’s mother or sister can be used as a reference for her own prediction. Of course, menopause can be earlier or later than family members due to the influence of acquired living conditions, climate, environment, social factors, diseases, etc. 2.Prediction from the age of menarche Clinical observation suggests that the age of menarche is negatively correlated with the age of menopause, that is, the earlier the age of menarche, the later the age of menopause (menopause); on the contrary, the later the age of menarche, the earlier the age of menopause. 3.Menstrual disorders If menstruation has always been regular, if after 40 years old, it appears to come early, or postpone, or successively irregular, gradually occur several months of menopause, menstruation dripping dozens of days not clean, intermittent menopause, sudden excessive menstruation or sudden menopause, etc.. Menopause is one of the most important signs of menopause. 4.The precursors of menopause In addition to changes in menstruation, women’s general condition also shows certain symptoms, such as obvious premenstrual breast pain, easy sweating, insomnia and dreaminess, emotional instability, headache and abdominal distension, anxiety and suspicion, and other plant nervous disorders and mental and emotional changes, suggesting the emergence of plant nervous disorders in menopause. Clinical observation and analysis show that the factors affecting the age of menopause are: the early or late age of menarche, the age of menopause of the mother, whether or not to have children, culture and nature of work, and so on. However, the occurrence of menopausal symptoms varies greatly, with some people experiencing menopause earlier without significant physical discomfort, and others experiencing discomfort for a long time before menopause is complete. According to female physiology, menopause begins about ten years before menopause, around the age of 40, and ten years after menopause, when ovarian function completely disappears and the person enters old age.
