"Oh my God! I actually have a head tattoo!"
"My face looks so gray!"
“1、2、3、4、5！！！
When is there another spot! ”
……
What a lot of people don't know is
Loose skin and long spots on the face are just signs of aging
And the human body has an organ
It has the greatest impact on the rate of aging in women
It's the ovaries!

First, why the ovaries are so important to women
For women, the ovaries are like Tintin to men, they are all "life roots".
The role of the ovaries is very powerful, and one person has multiple functions:
It stores and ovulates eggs and controls reproductive function;
It secretes hormones and manages the menstrual cycle;
It regulates endocrine and affects the health and beauty of women.
It can be said that a woman's skin is good or bad, no acne, fat and thin, menstruation is not normal, whether osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease risk, etc., are inextricably linked to ovarian function.
In general, after the age of 40, ovarian function begins to gradually decline. Mainland women's menopause is around 50 years old, at which time the ovaries are gradually shrinking and "retiring".
But in life, more and more women are not yet 40 years old, and they begin to have long-term amenorrhea, and even are diagnosed with premature ovarian failure. This needs to be paid attention to by female friends!
Second, the bad habit of hurting the ovaries, you hit a few
In addition to being affected by factors such as heredity, age of menarche, and the number of births, some bad habits also unconsciously damage the ovaries, accelerate its aging, and thus accelerate the decline of physical functions.
High long-term stress. It is easy to understand that when the pressure is too high, the great aunt often does not report on time. A person who is in a long-term nervousness, anxiety and other bad emotions will also affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis regulation function, inhibit the growth of follicles in the ovaries, reduce the body's immunity, and weaken ovulation function.
Always stay up late. Girls who are busy during the day and "stay up late at night" have to have a long snack, and staying up late and insomnia is easy to imbalance the hormone secretion function of the ovaries, so that the body enters a "vicious circle".
Frequent abortions. Studies have shown that about 20 percent of women who have surgical abortion develop ovarian dysfunction that manifests as luteal insufficiency or non-ovulation [1]. The incidence of menstrual reduction after abortion is on the rise and treatment is difficult [2].
Frequent smoking. Mass epidemiological findings show that women who smoke have menopause 1 to 2 years earlier than non-smoking women. Tobacco has a greater impact on fertility when smoking more than or equal to 10 cigarettes per day [3].
Eat unhealthily. Fried chicken, fries, milk tea continuously, long-term lack of fruit and vegetable intake, may also affect ovarian function, endocrine disorders.
corpulent. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a very common endocrine metabolic disease that is closely related to obesity. Women with "polycystic" are prone to obesity, which in turn increases the risk of polycystics by affecting the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis [4].
Abuse of emergency contraception. Long-term abuse of emergency contraceptives may affect the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, increase abnormal bleeding from the uterus, and lead to endocrine disorders.
Third, the maintenance of the ovaries that burn money is useless and may be harmful
Ovarian maintenance, this "beauty project" for women, has long been active in major beauty salons and e-commerce platforms... In fact, there is no "egg use" at all.
Ovarian massage: Broken when touched
The ovaries are located deep in the pelvis and, normally, are touched from the outside at all! No! arrive!
If you can really touch it, it must indicate that there is a lesion, such as a cyst, tumor and the like on the ovary, and then carry out inappropriate external massage, but it may be worse and worse. If it is not carefully pressed, it may also cause abdominal pain, bleeding and even shock, and the tumor will spread.
Drugs, essential oils: increased risk of cancer
Put it this way, whether it is a drug or an essential oil, if you feel that the effect is obvious after use, such as menstruation after amenorrhea, it means that estrogen must be added to the product in violation of the law, which increases the risk of cancer.
No effect? Congratulations, you only spent the wrong money, the body did not suffer.
Various care devices: the essence is similar to hot compresses
Many maintenance instruments on the market claim to maintain the ovaries through far infrared, electrotherapy, magnetic therapy, etc.
Do not rule out the use of time, so that you feel comfortable. But this comfort is essentially similar to hot compresses, just to speed up blood circulation, and it is of little use for the maintenance of ovarian function.
Scratch the point!
Clarify two cores, can pay less IQ tax:
First, the ovaries are very deep, not you want to "press" and "touch" to "press" and "touch";
Second, the ovaries are very "stubborn", and once premature aging occurs, it is regrettable and cannot be reversed.
Clinically, for premature ovarian failure, the most commonly used is hormone replacement therapy.
The reason is very simple, the ovaries are prematurely old, can not work properly, hormone secretion is insufficient, then additional supplementation of these hormones.
However, this hormone replacement therapy is used after fully understanding the patient's physical condition, drug contraindications, etc., under the guidance of a doctor, after various trade-off evaluations.
And the merchants who stare at your money bag have no professional ability and will not think so much about you.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if there are abnormal dysmenorrhea, painful intercourse, difficulty conceiving, long-term irregular menstruation, amenorrhea before the age of 40 (no menstruation for 6 consecutive months), it is still recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check, which may be a signal from ovarian diseases such as cysts and tumors.
