Today's article starts with the ovaries.
This pair of "ovarian sisters" are located in the female pelvic cavity, each ovary is about 2.5 to 5 cm long and about 1.5 to 3 cm wide during sexual maturity, and its main function is to produce eggs in addition to secreting the necessary sex hormones.
The egg, the female germ cell, can be said to be a "senior housewife who can stay at home for more than ten years":
Millions of primary oocytes have formed in a woman's ovaries before birth, and by adulthood there are just over 100,000 primary oocytes left.
Primary oocytes are encased in primitive follicles, and under the influence of sex hormones, only one primitive follicle usually matures each month, and the mature egg is then released from the ovary to the fallopian tubes; Generally speaking, a woman has about 400 mature eggs in her lifetime, and the rest of the oocytes are "home to the end".
During childbearing age, the egg sisters each begin their "blind date journey", but only one or two find true love and give birth to a baby.
The rest of those who are solo are not actually not wanting to fall in love, but "did not meet the right person at the right time"...
But the "blind date trip" is not smooth sailing
Ovulation requires the function of the "hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian gonadal axis" to function properly; For women with "ovulation disorders" – dysfunction or organic lesions at any one point – can cause temporary or long-term ovarian dysfunction, leading to abnormal ovulation affecting fertility, such as:
※Hypothalamic/pituitary gland lesions, resulting in low hormone levels.
※Polycystic ovary syndrome, which leads to imbalanced estrogen levels.
※Ovarian reserve function is low, and even functional failure occurs.
For patients with ovulation disorders who have fertility needs, it may be necessary to carry out "ovulation induction therapy" - that is, to stimulate the ovaries with drugs to regulate function, promote follicle development, induce ovulation, and generally induce the maturation and discharge of individual follicles.
However, some people think that ovulation induction causes "premature ovarian failure", which is incorrect: as mentioned earlier, women will have multiple follicles developing at the same time each menstrual cycle, but generally only 1 follicle will grow into a "dominant follicle" and release eggs.
The rest of the follicles will atrophy and decline, and continue to "stay at home", while "ovulation induction" only pulls those follicles that should have entered the lock-in period back into the "growth queue" through the drug effect, and does not affect the egg reserve in the ovaries, nor does it allow the follicles that were originally to be released later to be released early.
Therefore, under the guidance of professional doctors, ovulation induction treatment according to the development of follicles will not lead to "premature ovarian failure"
How to "Scientifically Maintain the Ovaries"
It can be said that the ovaries and eggs are "top luxuries" for women, and how to love them is not excessive!
However, at present, some beauty institutions call "ovarian maintenance, essential oil massage", etc., which are not helpful for ovarian reserve function.
Ovarian reserve function is "innate", follicles are non-renewable "consumables", scientific maintenance should pay attention to the following problems:
Scientific maintenance of the ovaries
Develop good lifestyle habits
Regular work and rest do not stay up late; Balanced diet without partiality; Insist on exercising without laziness; Quit smoking and don't covet cups.
Decreased ovarian reserve function occurs
Reasonable symptomatic treatment can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor through drugs such as estrogen and progesterone.
What age to do
Avoid premature childbearing, but at the golden age of childbearing, we should also promote "timely fertility" - which also has a certain protective effect on ovarian function and fertility.
