Menstrual Cessation月经停止

Posted by: admin发布者：管理员

Why would anyone want to have a period if that means heavy bleeding, clotting, and pain every month for 30 years?为什么会有人希望有一个时期，如果这意味着大量出血，凝血和痛苦每个月的30年？ Well, menstruation and painful periods are two different subjects, but marketing is targeting menstruation as a problem in general.那么，月经和痛苦的时期是两个不同的主体，但市场营销的目标是月经是一个问题的一般。

A few years ago millions of menopausal women were warned to stop taking estrogen after the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study showed adverse effects of hormone replacement therapy outweighed the benefits because it put women at much greater risk for heart disease.几年前，数以百万计的更年期妇女被警告停止服用雌激素后，妇女健康倡议（白盔倡议）研究表明不利影响的激素替代疗法的好处超过，因为它使妇女更大的风险心脏病。 In direct conflict with its earlier study, the在直接的冲突与早先的研究， WHI白盔倡议 now says that hormone replacement therapy is good for your heart.现在说，激素替代疗法有利于您的心。

Confusion 困惑

How can women get it right?如何才能妇女做正确的？ During her fertile years, a woman is told to take birth control pills (synthetic hormones) to prevent pregnancy .她在肥沃的土壤里，一名妇女被告知采取避孕药（合成荷尔蒙） ，以防止怀孕。 . 。 . 。 unless she has irregular periods.除非她有月经不调。

If she has irregular periods, she’s told to take birth control pills to regulate her period, but too much estrogen can cause her to have painful periods.如果她有月经不调，她告诉采取避孕药调节她的时期，但过多的雌激素可以导致她带来痛苦的时期。

In that case, she should take menstrual suppression drugs like Lybrel so she never has a period again.在这种情况下，她应采取抑制月经的药物如Lybrel所以她从来没有一个时期了。

But what about all the reasons you weren’t supposed to take birth control pills like blood clots and cancer?可是你知道所有的原因你是不是采取避孕药像血液凝块和癌症？

The Role of Hormones 在激素的作用

Synthetic hormones are made to mimic natural hormones.合成荷尔蒙，以模仿自然的荷尔蒙。 They do the job, but don’t have the same benefits.他们完成的工作，但没有同样的福利。

For instance, natural progesterone gives protection against heart disease and cancer by forming metabolites that calm the brain and helps us sleep.例如，黄体酮使自然保护，防止心脏病和癌症的形成代谢平静的大脑和帮助我们的睡眠。 Natural progesterone is also key in forming nitric oxide which helps blood flow to the heart.天然黄体酮也是关键的一氧化氮形成有利于流向心脏的血液。

Synthetic hormones do not convert into metabolites so there is no benefit to the brain or heart.合成激素不转换成代谢所以没有好处的大脑或心脏。 Also, it is well documented that every synthetic progesterone increases risk of breast cancer.此外，它是有据可查的，每一个合成孕激素增加患乳腺癌的风险。 The risk compounds for every year of use.危险化合物，每年使用。

Any synthetic progestin–birth control pills–will increase your risk of breast cancer.任何人工合成孕，避孕药，会增加您患乳腺癌的风险。 The younger a woman starts using a birth control pill, the more likely she’ll get breast cancer.年轻女性开始使用口服避孕药，就越有可能，她会得到乳癌。

Another aspect of synthetic hormones is that they suppress all the natural sex hormones including estradiol–the natural estrogen your body makes which you need for brain function, bone function, cardiovascular health.另一个方面是合成荷尔蒙是，他们制止一切自然性激素包括雌激素，雌激素的自然使你的身体你需要大脑功能，骨髓功能，心血管健康。

Menstruation is a sign of health, but there are many negative connotations about menstruation, and drug companies are marketing to these negative connotations.月经是一个健康的迹象，但也有许多负面的含义约月经，和药物公司的市场营销，这些消极的内涵。 Menstrual suppression drugs such as Lybrel are marketed as lifestyle drugs.月经抑制药物，如Lybrel销售药品的生活方式。

When women stop menstruating before menopause, it’s usually a sign of illness such as a metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovaries, extreme stress, or over exercising.当妇女停经，更年期之前，它通常是一个生病的迹象，如代谢综合症，多囊卵巢卵巢癌，极度紧张，或行使。

If a woman is having problem periods, it’s usually a sign that her hormones are out of balance.如果一个女人是有问题的时期，它通常是一个迹象，表明她的荷尔蒙的平衡。 A doctor can help with this issue by checking thyroid function.医生可以帮助这个问题通过检查甲状腺功能。 A thyroid deficiency will cause an imbalance in estrogen and progesterone causing heavy bleeding and discomfort.甲状腺不足将导致不平衡雌激素和孕激素造成大量出血及不适。

Or, it may be a dietary issue–heavy sugars and starches can throw off hormones too.或者，它可能是饮食问题，沉重的糖和淀粉有可能导致激素太多。 This often happens as a woman approaches menopause, but lately young women experience it as well due to the amount of endocrine disruptors in the environment and poor diet in general.这常常发生作为一名女性更年期的方法，但最近年轻女性的经验，以及适当的数额内分泌干扰物在环境和不良的饮食习惯一般。

If you examine the research behind menstrual suppression drugs, you will find it mostly focuses on problem periods, PMS or dysmenorrhea, but there is little research on menstruation itself.如果你检查后面的研究月经抑制药物，你会发现，大多侧重于问题的时期，经前期综合征或痛经，但没有多少研究，月经本身。

In marketing campaigns, menstruation is treated as a health problem that needs to be managed.在营销活动，月经被视为一个健康问题，需要加以管理。 Hormones/birth control pills are repurposed as a lifestyle drug and a means for women to opt out of having periods.激素/避孕药是repurposed作为一种生活方式的药物和手段为妇女退出了时间。

When women stop menstruating some of the problems they can experience are:当妇女停经的一些问题，他们可以体验是：

6x greater risk of blood clots 6倍的风险更大血液凝块
4x greater risk of dieing from a stroke 4倍更大的风险死于中风
4x greater risk of heart attack 4倍的风险更大心脏病发作
3x greater risk of migraine headache 3倍的风险更大偏头痛
2x greater risk of high blood pressure 2倍的风险更大血压高
2x greater risk of cancer (cervical, breast, endometrial) 2更大的罹患癌症的风险（宫颈癌，乳腺癌，子宫内膜）

But on the bright side, you won’t have a period.但光明的一面，你不会有一个时期。
