Pharmacist Do Xuan Hoa of the Medical Information Center, Tam Anh General Hospital, TP HCM, states that physiological needs are natural, a vital aspect of intimacy, and offer numerous health benefits. However, women's physiological health undergoes changes across different age stages.
Age 20
At age 20, levels of female hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are at their highest and most stable. This contributes to smooth skin, fuller breasts, and a slender waist. Women in this age group also have a higher chance of conception compared to other age groups.
Age 30
Entering their 30s, women often possess more experience, knowledge, and skills, which can lead to greater fulfillment in intimate relationships. However, after around age 35, hormone levels begin to fluctuate, potentially causing a decrease in libido at certain times. This period also brings increased family pressures and work responsibilities, which can impact overall psychological and physiological well-being.
Age 40
Most women in their 40s find more personal time, often with reduced childcare burdens and stable careers. However, this age marks the perimenopausal stage, during which the trio of hormones – estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone – declines sharply, significantly affecting the quality of intimate life.
After age 50
After age 50 comes menopause, bringing various health issues such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, weight gain, and vaginal dryness. Physiological health during this period largely depends on female hormone levels and individual needs.
According to pharmacist Hoa, the brain-pituitary-ovarian axis and the balance of the trio of hormones – estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone – are decisive factors for a woman's health, beauty, and physiology. A harmonious axis and balanced hormones govern the functions of many bodily systems, including the nervous, cardiovascular, and digestive systems, as well as libido. When the axis's activity declines, the disruption of these three hormones leads to a cascade of health issues.
To maintain stable physiological health, individuals should adopt a scientific diet and lifestyle, engage in regular exercise, limit stress, and get adequate sleep. Women can also enhance the activity of the brain-pituitary-ovarian axis by supplementing with natural herbs such as lepidium meyenii and P. leucotomos. This duo of essences promotes the body's self-regulation of female hormones, improves physiological health, and helps maintain a youthful appearance.
