Menopause is a symbol of women starting to age, so every woman does not want to go through menopause too early. But some women are not very healthy and have to have one ovary removed. Everyone knows that the ovaries secrete estrogen, and removing one will definitely have some effects. Will removing one ovary cause menopause earlier?
Menopause means ovarian atrophy, losing the ability to secrete estrogen and ovulate. If one's ovaries are removed, the level of estrogen in the body will definitely decrease, and hormonal changes directly affect the timing of menopause. Therefore, removing one ovary may indeed lead to an earlier onset of menopause. But don't worry, the lead time won't be too long, only one or two years.
To delay menopause, it is recommended to supplement estrogen appropriately in the diet after ovarian removal. Eating more soy based foods and nuts can stimulate the secretion of estrogen in the body, which can help delay menopause. And attention should be paid to supplementing vitamins and calcium tablets to reduce the side effects of estrogen reduction on the body.
However, menopause is something that every woman must face. If you reach an age, you must face menopause with a calm mind and not be afraid of aging. This is a natural change in a person. Don't abuse estrogen out of fear of aging, as it can actually threaten your health.
