To mitigate the risk of early menopause, it is important to implement certain lifestyle changes. These can include regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Additionally, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can also help reduce the chances of early menopause.

Early menopause definition

Menopause like menstruation is a physiological process that every woman has to go through. Differences in physique, geographical environment, and genetics determine the differences in the menopause age of different women.

Women of different races have different menopause ages. For example, the average menopause age of European and American women is 52 years old, that of Asian women is 50 years old, and that of African women is 48 years old.

Geographical location also affects the menopause age of women. For example, the average menopause age of women in arid areas is earlier than that of women in warm and humid areas, and the average menopause age of women in high-altitude areas is earlier than that of women in low-altitude areas.

Health status also determines the difference in menopause age. For example, women with short stature, underweight, and malnourished menopause 3 to 4 years earlier than women with strong stature, rich nutrition, and moderate weight;

The time for human ovulation is limited. Generally, it starts from the year of menarche, and the ovarian ovulation function lasts about 30 years. Therefore, most women’s menopause starts at the age of 40. If menopause occurs before the age of 40, we call it early menopause.

In short, 95% of healthy women have their last menstruation between the ages of 40 and 56.

How to know if experiencing early menopause?

Women experience early menopause before the age of 40, which is closely related to factors such as malnutrition, sleeping problem, emotion, work pressure, or health condition, etc., which cause ovarian damage.

Ovarian function declines and the level of ovarian hormone secretion decreases. To maintain the ovaries, the first need to maintain an even emotion and try to avoid too much negative emotions.

Early menopause symptoms include: hot flashes, mood changes, depression and anxiety, vaginal problems and infections, irregular menstruation or bleeding, sleep problems, memory problems, urination problems, changes in sexual sensation, etc. These symptoms vary depending on the constitution.

Risk of early menopause

Any severe state of any symptom indicates that there is a problem with the function of the internal organs, which causes an imbalance of internal energy, thus creating these symptoms.

If menopause occurs early, it means that the ovaries are “aging prematurely”. The weakening of various body functions will not only accelerate aging, but also cause energy imbalance in the body, leading to various diseases such as uterine cancer, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease, etc., as well as other systemic diseases.Early menopause-Ovaries

Early menopause prevention or remedy

1. Maintain good living habits

Lifestyle should be regular. No smoking or drinking. No staying up late are the most basic, because only adequate sleep can guarantee health.

In terms of diet, more protein-rich foods, especially from soybeans or soy products, which are not only rich in protein, but also contain phytoestrogens. However, it should be noted that people with chronic kidney disease are not suitable for eating more soy products.

Eating more foods rich in vitamins, calcium and folic acid is also very helpful for the ovaries, such as carrots, citrus, whole grains, cereals, etc. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination every year. Ovarian diseases are insidious and have no special symptoms in the early stages.

Avoid early menopause-soybean

Foods that contain more estrogen can effectively promote ovarian health and prevent ovarian cancer. Women can eat appropriate amounts of cereals.

Natural remedies also help the internal organs function get back to be regular. Such as Wu Xing Tea. It looks simple but the ingredients are effective.

The formula in the tea is mainly aimed at maintaining internal organs, helping imbalanced body energy to be balanced, and helping internal organs restore their original functions regularly.

    I started seeing Shirley in September 2024 when I knew I needed to do more to support my health. Shirley is so knowledgeable and is able to pinpoint things that need attention. Things Western Medicine misses. I am happy to report my blood pressure is down and stabilizing from her treatments and tea. I highly recommend Shirley!

  • The amazing Shirley Brown goes the extra mile to help you to heal. Her initial assessment and history taking is incredibly thorough. Not only does she assess your medical and surgical history but also goes into indepth assessment of your usual diet .eating .sleeping patterns and your exercise routines . Shirley then can treat and heal you so much more profoundly . My first treatment with Shirley was with Moxinustion . Shirley used this to heal imbalances and to restore my energy system and then could prescribe what was needed to make me heal. I went for my first appointment feeling that I could not be healed or would have to wait months if not years to see a specialist. After seeing Shirley I left feeling lighter stronger and with definitely less pain and actual optimism and knew that I had been really cared for . I have been going to see Shirley for special teas she makes depending on what organ in my body needs the most attention . Shirley is a truly gifted healer and her knowledge of Chinese medicine is profound . Shirley truly excels in her profession.

    Shirley has helped me a great deal in improving my health. Being a Chinese from Hong Kong, I always trust TCM. Although I knew about moxa since I was a kid, I had never tried moxibustion before, until I met Shirley. I had encountered a medical issue in the past few years that none of my doctors and specialists could explain (or in their words "never heard of"). I had also tried cupping, Chinese massage and acupuncture. However, only after I started to have moxibustion and Shirley's five elements tea and herbal teas, I have experienced a huge improvement. As a matter of fact, many of the herbal teas that Shirley prescribes are actually very traditional recipes from the ancient Chinese medical records since thousands of years ago, which are commonly accessible online or on hard copies. However, to feel the pulse, check the body condition and then apply the right recipe for the treatment is utmost crucial and Shirley is proved to be able to do so. And I was told today that the official name of the clinic of "One More Cup of Tea" is "SLB Traditional Chinese Therapies" and there are a lot of information under that page. I am going to leave the exact same review under that name so nobody should miss it. Thank you Shirley.

    这是一种神奇的疗术,为我消除了身心的伤痛;一次偶然的机会,在纳耐莫认识了五行养生堂的梁女士,刚开始的一个疗程,是以抱着试试看的态度进行了以艾灸为主的理疗,使我消除了长期腰疼的苦痛;在我坚持做完第二个疗程后,两腋下出现了很多就像杂质的体液,同时全身变得有力,更大的是心情不断好了起来;我做完第三个疗程后,全身无比的轻松,让我真正感触到了身体机能的正常是多么开心的事情;本来我想连续做上几个疗程,但是,因为工作出差原因不得不暂停;我为遇到一种神奇的中国传统疗术而欣慰,我更为遇到梁女士的传统疗法而开心;希望中国传统疗法驱除民众的苦痛!愿此神奇的中国传统疗术康复更多的世间广众!

    I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Shirley. I met with Shirley in September and on that day she was able to assess my pulse with precision and identify where improvements could be made to support balancing my body. During my initial consultation, Shirley designed a three month treatment plan for me. At each appointment Shirley thoroughly assessed my progress as we worked in partnership to bring my body into balance. Shirley excels at Moxibustion and Tui Na, two therapies that I experienced during my treatment plan and I also followed all of the “homework” that she assigned me. I am very happy with the positive results that I experienced and again I would highly recommended booking a consultation with Shirley.
