When we are still fetuses, at 16-20 weeks in our mother’s womb, we have 6-7 million germ cells in our ovaries bilaterally; about 2 million remain at birth and only about 300,000 remain by puberty. However, only 400-500 follicles develop and ovulate during a woman’s lifetime, which is only 0.1% of the total. This translates into 33-42 years. With the development of social civilization, changes in living environment and lifestyle, and increased mental stress, more and more women are experiencing early menopause and even premature ovarian failure. Premature ovarian failure refers to the failure of ovarian function before the age of 40. When they finally stop their career struggle and want to become mothers, their chances and hopes become slim, and to have a healthy and lovely baby is so unattainable. The literature reports that women over 35 years of age have a much lower natural pregnancy rate, mainly due to their low ovarian function, irregular ovulation and a significant decrease in egg quality. Because the chance of chromosomal abnormalities in the eggs increases with age, older women are not only less likely to get pregnant, but are also more likely to have embryonic abnormalities in the fetus after pregnancy. So how can we protect the ovarian function of women? First of all, you should change your lifestyle habits. As the saying goes, a woman is a sleeper. Good sleep and rest are very important. If you stay up late for a long time, women’s endocrine disorders will occur, manifested as menstrual disorders, spots or acne on the face, mood swings, etc. The ovaries are supposed to be a gland capable of secreting hormones, and with the overall endocrine disorder in the body, the ovaries will also experience secretion disorders. Likewise, a healthy diet and a happy mood will help balance and regulate the hormones in a woman’s body, allowing the ovaries to play their role fully and normally. Excessive stress can also affect the neuroendocrine system and cause menstrual disorders and difficulty getting pregnant, as well as premature ovarian decline. The diet should not be vegetarian for a long time, because the precursor of estrogen is cholesterol, and a long-term vegetarian diet can also cause insufficient estrogen secretion and lead to ovarian decline. Secondly, certain drugs can affect ovarian function. Such as emergency contraceptives or irregular use of oral contraceptives. Emergency contraceptives are anti-progestational agents or strong progestational agents, which can disrupt the normal endocrine function of the ovaries if used repeatedly; oral contraceptives can lead to the same result if taken randomly without medical advice. There are also drugs used to treat breast cancer that have an effect on ovarian function. Third, avoid ovarian surgery. Ovarian surgery such as ovarian perforation, ovarian chocolate cyst removal, ovarian teratoma removal, etc., not only removes some ovarian tissue, but also affects the blood supply to the ovaries. Therefore, for women with fertility requirements, they are not advised to rush into surgical treatment as a last resort. Fourthly, it is important to have children at an appropriate age and avoid having children at an advanced age. On the one hand, having a child when a woman’s ovaries are functioning optimally is good for both mother and baby. The mother’s body is in the best condition, the eggs are of the best quality, and the baby receives the most physically and mentally sound care. On the other hand, it is a reflection and preservation of the value of the reproductive function of the female ovaries, and the offspring receive healthy genes. When a woman carries her baby for ten months, she has ten fewer periods and ten fewer eggs, and her menopause is delayed further back. It is important to protect ovarian function before it is too late. Don’t wait until you are older and your ovarian function is already low before you regret it. As long as you have healthy ovaries, you will naturally be feminine and will no longer need all kinds of cosmetics to cover up your lack of confidence.
