Menopausal period refers to the transitional period during which a woman's ovarian function gradually declines from a vigorous state to a complete disappearance. Many women experience menstrual abnormalities, but this does not mean that the ovaries do not ovulate. Moreover, ovulation occurs more than once a month, which can lead to pregnancy. Therefore, in order to avoid accidental pregnancy and harm to the body, it is important to avoid it.
Various types of Menstrual disorder occur during menopause
Perimenopause, also known as climacteric, refers to the period before and after the female climacteric, the transitional period from Fertility to Fertility, lasting for about 2 to 5 years, generally marked by one year's absence of menstruation.
The age at which menopause occurs varies greatly among individuals and is often related to genetics. It is commonly seen between the ages of 40 and 55 and belongs to physiological changes. Some women experience menopause before the age of 40, which is medically known as premature ovarian failure and is often characterized by pathological changes.
The maintenance of women's normal Menstrual cycle is very complex. With the growth of age, women's ovarian function gradually declines, estrogen fluctuates greatly, and the Menstrual cycle begins to shorten to 24-25 days. After entering menopause, regular periodic ovulation is gradually replaced by anovulatory Menstrual cycle, and various types of Menstrual disorder can occur. Until complete amenorrhea, this stage lasts for 1 to 3 years.
Irregular ovulation time requires contraceptive measures
With the development of menopause, female ovarian ovulation function declines, but not completely without ovulation, especially in the early ovulation cycle of the menopausal transition period, which is still common and gradually replaced by anovulation cycle. Due to the decline of ovarian function, the original ovulation rule was broken, and the ovulation time was difficult to predict, even more than once a month. Women who used to use Calendar-based contraceptive methods contraception found that the original Calendar-based contraceptive methods was unsafe, and they became pregnant without paying attention. Therefore, even if menstrual abnormalities occur during menopause, contraceptive measures need to be taken!
Experts suggest that the preferred contraceptive method for menopausal women should be instrumental contraception (condoms), which does not contain hormones or drugs and has few side effects. When using, apply the contraceptive ointment on the condom and the vaginal diaphragm, which can also improve the contraceptive effect and lubricate the dry vagina. Other new contraceptive methods can also be tried by menopausal women, but it is best to use them under the guidance of a doctor.
