Introduction
Menopause usually leads to uterine atrophy within 1 to 3 years. If an individual has poor physical health and does not properly care for herself after menopause, the uterus typically begins to gradually atrophy within 1 to 2 years. However, if a person is in good condition, exercises regularly, and receives treatment such as hormone replacement therapy, the onset of uterine atrophy may be delayed, with gradual atrophy generally occurring 2 to 3 years after menopause.
Menopause usually leads to uterine atrophy within 1–2 years or 2–3 years, depending on individual conditions. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. 1–2 years
As women age, ovarian function gradually declines. If an individual has poor physical health and does not properly care for herself after menopause, the uterus typically begins to gradually atrophy within 1–2 years.
2. 2–3 years
If a woman maintains good overall health after menopause, regularly exercises, and receives appropriate treatment—such as hormone replacement therapy—the onset of uterine atrophy may be delayed, with gradual atrophy generally occurring 2–3 years after menopause.
After menopause, it is important to strengthen self-care, increase physical activity, maintain focus, and keep a relaxed mood, all of which can help alleviate physical discomfort associated with menopause.
