In the minds of many women, healthy ovaries are the key to keeping young, beautiful and permanent, so in recent years, more and more women have begun to pay attention to [ovarian maintenance] programs.
However, when it comes to ovaries, there is always no way to get around all kinds of rumors that are true or false and make people confused. Today we will ask obstetrician and gynecologist Teacher Li Shan to refute the rumors.
1. As long as menstruation comes, the ovaries will definitely ovulate?
Under normal circumstances, in the normal menstrual cycle, one egg will mature and ovulate, and then form corpus luteum. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum will atrophy and menstruation will occur.
However, in a few cases, there is also a kind of [anovulatory] menstruation.
This kind of situation is commonly called [anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding], which is more common in young women and women entering perimenopause.
This is also why some women, although irregular, have menstruation but have not been pregnant all the time, only to find out after the final examination is the reason why they were unable to ovulate smoothly.
2. The amount of menstruation is large, and the ovarian function must be good?
If the amount of menstruation exceeds 80 mL each time, it is menorrhagia, which is abnormal and still needs treatment.
Sometimes, some diseases, such as submucosal myoma of uterus and adenomyosis, can also lead to a large amount of menstruation and sometimes dysmenorrhea.
Therefore, there is no inevitable connection between the amount of menstruation and the good ovarian function.
If you have too much menstruation, every time your big aunt comes with blood, pale complexion, or even flustered and shortness of breath, you should go to the hospital for treatment, instead of feeling that your symptoms are caused by the double stick of your ovaries.
3. If the amount of menstruation is small, the ovarian function will decline?
If the total amount of bleeding per menstruation is less than 5 mL, then it should be considered as menorrhagia. Although the amount of menorrhagia may be related to ovarian function, some diseases may also cause the decrease of menorrhagia.
One of the most common reasons is that many abortions lead to intrauterine adhesion, endometrium cannot grow normally, or cervical adhesion, menstrual blood cannot be smoothly discharged and other problems, resulting in a decrease in menstrual volume.
If the reduction of menstruation caused by hormones is indeed considered after the problem of endometrium is eliminated, then to be diagnosed as ovarian function decline, the diagnosis should also be made in combination with the values of gonadotropins FSH, LH, etc. and the age of the patient.
Sometimes the amount of menstruation will also be affected by emotion, exercise and other factors, so don’t always suspect your premature ovarian failure.
4. If you drink too much soya-bean milk, you will get ovarian cancer?
The source of this rumor is soybean isoflavone, a phytoestrogen in soybean milk.
Some people heard the name [phytoestrogen] and immediately thought of the carcinogenic effect of estrogen. They immediately linked soya-bean milk with breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Therefore, the rumor that drinking too much soya-bean milk will lead to breast cancer and ovarian cancer began to parade on the market!
In fact, soya-bean milk can provide rich protein and calcium for women, which is good for our women’s health. Similarly, it includes tofu, bean skin and bean products.
Therefore, if you like to drink soya-bean milk, you can rest assured that you will not drink cancer.
The only thing to worry about is that if you drink too much, you may get fat.
5. Ovary must be massaged frequently to be healthy?
The location of the ovary is located in the deep part of our female pelvic cavity, which cannot be massaged under normal circumstances.
If the ovary is really massaged, that is a strange thing. What you should do at this time is to go to the hospital and have a good examination to see if there is something what growing on the ovary or there is an abnormal condition in what.
All [ovarian massages] press the belly, no matter how expensive [essential oil] you use, the beneficiary is also your belly.
So, don’t bother, there is no need to pay IQ tax on it!
6. Are there spots on the face and bad skin all gynecological diseases caused by ovaries?
As our female gonads, the main functions of the ovary are one to produce eggs and ovulate, and the other to produce endocrine functions of sex hormones.
The endocrine function of the ovary does have an impact on our physical state. For example, during ovulation, the estrogen level is relatively high, and you may feel more radiant and shiny in skin. Before menstruation, some women will feel temporary chest pain and even a few pimples on their faces due to fluctuations in hormone levels.
However, the problem of skin color and spots is often closely related to our innate heredity and our usual skin care habits, so don’t throw all the pots to the ovaries, or listen to someone tell you: [Your long spots are caused by gynecological diseases! ] You believe it silly.
7. Is premature ovarian failure really incurable?
The current treatment of premature ovarian failure is mainly hormone replacement therapy. When the ovary is no longer able to secrete enough hormones autonomously, then we will supplement it with foreign means.
Hormone replacement therapy is not a scourge. Correct application can help patients with premature ovarian failure to menstruate normally, delay the arrival of menopause, relieve climacteric symptoms, and even fulfill their desire to give birth.
What needs to be reminded is that hormone replacement therapy needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
Those beauty care packages that tell you that you can [reverse] premature ovarian failure are likely to add hormones and the dosage of the ingredients is unknown, which may make you menstruate, but if the hormone content exceeds the standard, it will bring the risk of cancer.
8. After menopause, menstruation comes again. Is it the recovery of ovarian vitality?
Women who have already menopause suddenly resume menstruation. Don’t just think that you are [young again], but pay attention to eliminating abnormal bleeding caused by gynecological tumors, such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer.
In particular, some products that tell you [to let you menstruate again and be young again] are likely to be illegally added with hormone ingredients, which will lead to higher risks if used for a long time.
9. Is what the Real Ovarian Maintenance?
The real [ovarian maintenance] can really protect our health, but this maintenance method does not make you spend a lot of money on rubbing and pressing in beauty salons.
Regular work and rest, reasonable exercise, balanced nutrition, maintain a good mood, let your body in a healthy state, good body, ovaries are naturally better.
It is also very important not to smoke.
10. If the ovary is gone, it is not a woman?
Ovary is a woman’s gonad. Without ovary, women will lack necessary sex hormone secretion and enter menopause.
Sa Jie once met a woman who collapsed and cried because the ovarian oncologist suggested that the ovary be removed because she felt that she was no longer a woman.
People’s bodies will age and their youth will pass away. This is inevitable for everyone. No one will be young and beautiful forever, but the meaning of life will not be lost because of your aging.
Losing an organ will not affect whether you are from what, uterus or ovary. If life really needs you [to abandon the pawn and protect the car], then what we can do is to cherish life more.
The deformity of the body does not affect the splendor of life.
Write at the end
The beauty of women is indeed closely related to their ovaries, so we need to treat them correctly, protect their ovaries and protect their health.
At the same time, we also need to keep our eyes open to avoid being cheated because of our inner urgency, and there is no need to lose the motivation to pursue a happy life because of the quality of our ovaries.
It is your organ, it is very important, but you are more important than it.
