Studies in recent years have found that more and more women have experienced ovarian function decline before the age of 40, and even girls in their teens and twenties have also joined the list, which has a serious impact on women's reproductive function.
Ovarian function decline, mainly divided into physiological ovarian function decline and pathological ovarian function decline.
The reasons for the decline of ovarian function mainly include the following four aspects:
Genetic factors
Many genetic causes can lead to ovarian function decline, such as Turner syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and chromosomal balance translocation.
Surgical trauma
Surgical trauma can lead to a decline in ovarian function, such as treatment such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy for malignant tumors, and ovarian surgery.
Adverse environmental factors
Adverse environmental factors can also lead to the decline of ovarian function, such as harmful gases such as dioxins from garbage combustion, bisphenol A released by plastic products, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and pesticides, decoration materials, hair dyes, rubber and plastic products, paints and coatings, etc.
Poor lifestyle
Poor lifestyle can also lead to a decline in ovarian function, such as frequent mood swings or long-term bad mood, smoking or passive smoking, drinking alcohol, excessive weight loss, staying up late for a long time, overeating, etc.
Therefore, it is recommended that women should have regular health examinations, and if ovarian surgery or radiation and chemotherapy for tumors are needed, try to assess the risk of ovarian decline before doing so.
Because the ovaries are a glandular organ, they are sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy for tumors, and ovarian surgery may also damage ovarian function. All of these can cause ovarian function to deteriorate.
Therefore, for women who are preparing to undergo chemotherapy for tumor radiotherapy or ovarian surgery, a comprehensive ovarian function assessment can be performed before treatment begins, or the surgeon can be communicated to take care to protect the ovaries as much as possible.
In addition, women in the daily life as far as possible to maintain a comfortable mood and mental health, to avoid excessive mental pressure, to change the late night, smoking and other bad living habits, do not look forward to a bad environment, wear more masks to isolate harmful gases.
In order to avoid the decline of ovarian function, women should also appropriately increase their exercise to control weight, avoid being too fat or too thin, and also have a reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, eat less unhealthy foods with more oil and salt, and eat more vegetables and fruits.
In general, women begin to decline in ovarian function around the age of 32 and begin to go downhill rapidly around the age of 37. Every woman will face the eventual decline of ovarian function during the course of life, but we can prevent the decline of ovarian function in advance, improve ovarian function, and let the decline of ovarian function come later.
