What is the cause of menopause?

It is generally believed that chronic consumptive diseases, metabolic and endocrine diseases, tumors, mumps complicated with oophoritis, can cause ovarian dysfunction, abnormal hormone secretion of adrenal cortex, thyroid, pituitary and so on, and early menopause. In addition, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and some autoimmune diseases can also cause premature ovarian function decline and menopause. It has a lot to do with nutrition and age.

The number of oocytes is the most important factor in determining a woman's menopausal age. At birth, there are about one million oocytes in each ovary. After birth, the number of oocytes in menopause is related to age. Menopause occurs when the number of oocytes decreases to a critical number. So far, the mechanism of controlling or regulating the rate of oocyte reduction has not been fully understood, but the following factors are obviously related to menopause sooner or later.

The study found that the average menopausal age of women with long-term malnutrition, short body and light weight was 43.6 years old and 47.3 years old compared with those with good nutrition, relatively high body and relatively heavy weight. Smoking is an important factor of early menopausal age. Benzopyrene in cigarette is the lethal factor of oocytes. Animal experiments show that 25% oocytes can be destroyed by low dose of benzopyrene, and 98% oocytes can be destroyed by high dose of benzopyrene.
