Adolescent girls' health and risks

From childhood to adolescence, every boy and girl has its own changes. Special attention should be paid to the health of girls at this stage. Increasing changes in appearance also have an impact on a girl’s psyche. At this stage, you need to be close to your child and teach him what to do in such situations. After puberty, a teenager’s behavior changes significantly in appearance. First of all, parents should be close friends with their children during this period, which will prevent serious problems that may arise in the future.

The menstrual cycle is different in every girl's body. In some, it starts at the age of 11-12, and in some girls, menstruation may be delayed until the age of 15. In such cases it is necessary to immediately go to the gynecologist. Disorders of the menstrual cycle, endocrine diseases, anemia (anemia), various inflammations in the genitals can lead to serious diseases in the future. The onset of hormonal disorders in a teenage girl begins with menstruation.

Every hormone in the human body has its own function. In contrast, the hormone (estrogen) found in women in turn triggers the ability to conceive and determines a woman’s stature, demeanor, and delicacy. Decreased estrogen is one of the main problems associated with thyroid disease. Because through this organ the whole body is controlled and is also responsible for the activity of hormones. Deficiency of this hormone is common not only in women over the age of forty, but also in the body of adolescent girls.

Hormonal disorders in turn cause serious problems for the body. To do this, first of all, it is possible to prevent many diseases by normalizing the hormonal balance.

The hormone estrogen is produced in the ovaries of the female uterus and keeps the menstrual cycle in rhythm. Disorders of the menstrual cycle indicate problems with this hormone. In such cases, it is necessary to see a doctor immediately and submit the necessary tests and receive timely treatment.

Sometimes tests also do not accurately assess hormonal status. Decreased estrogen in the female body leads to imbalance of water balance in the body, a tendency to obesity, and an increase in wrinkles as a result of dry skin. However, a decrease in the hormone estrogen leads to an increase in the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Another important function of this hormone is to maintain calcium in the body.

Signs of estrogen hormone depletion

The main symptoms of estrogen deficiency are:

• Decreased memory;

• excessive nervousness;

• susceptibility to depression;

• sleep disorders, inability to sleep at night;

• frequent mood swings;

• overheating when nervous;

• ovarian dysfunction;

• dry skin;

• presence of back pain;

• weight gain, obesity (cellulite);

• migraine (headache in half), constant headache;

• inability to concentrate;

• muscle pain;

• hair loss and many other symptoms.

Ovarian activity decreases due to a decrease in the hormone estrogen in the girl's body. This leads to disruption of the menstrual cycle, contraction of the breast and uterus as a result of premature maturation of the follicle. If not treated in time, it can also lead to infertility in the future. The fact that the menstrual cycle lasts more than 25-28 days, the menstrual days are longer and more painful, the presence of pain under the bladder indicates that hormonal disorders are occurring in the body. In such cases it is necessary to immediately go to the endocrinologist and gynecologist to get the necessary treatment.

In women, a decrease in the hormone estrogen and an increase in the hormone testosterone (progesterone) are determined by male-specific symptoms, respectively:

The face and neck are marked by the appearance of tiny hairs on the chin, chest, under the bladder, and in the middle of the abdomen, and sometimes on the male body. In general, excess hair in the body increases as a result of a decrease in the hormone estrogen and an increase in the hormone progesterone.

As a result of an increase in the hormone progesterone (testosterone), the skin glands produce excess oil, often overflowing. Not only on the face, but also around the body, which is typical for men, there are large rashes and rashes.

Obesity is mainly characterized by an increase in fat in the abdomen, if fat. Externally, too, this is noticeable. In girls, boyish behavior, behavior and gait, thickening of the voice and an increase in sexual desire (hypersexuality) are observed. In this case, timely treatment is necessary. This can not only cause serious complications for the girl’s body, but can also cause cosmetic problems.

The solution to the problem

Timely treatment of the disease promotes rapid recovery of the patient. In turn, the doctor prescribes the necessary medication and orders to add the necessary products in addition to the diet.

Legumes contain a large amount of phytoestrogen, a substance similar to the hormone estrogen, which helps to maintain a hormonal balance in the body. In particular, moss, beans, peas, buckwheat, soy, rice, apricots, sesame, broccoli cabbage and greens stabilize hormonal balance. The patient should diet in conjunction with the treatment, consuming more dairy products eggs, tomatoes, squash and vegetables. These products contain large amounts of folic acid, vitamins C, K, which help to keep hormonal changes in balance.

Some substances in coffee release calcium from the body. Therefore, it is not possible to drink coffee during hormonal disorders.

Products that normalize hormonal balance

It is advisable to consume more products that contain a lot of phytoestrogens. This substance is more common in beets, carrots, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, papaya, pomegranates, walnuts, garlic, mushrooms, eggplant, fish (more in mackerel) and poultry. Phytoestrogen in turn binds to the hormone estrogen in the body and prevents hormonal disorders. These products help to improve the functioning of the endocrine system. The main treatment is performed by a doctor endocrinologist and gynecologist.
