Patient's question:
Recently, my mom has been feeling quite tired, so I took her to a beauty salon for a massage and a facial treatment. The staff at the salon also recommended my mom try an abdominal essential oil massage, saying it's good for the ovaries. I was wondering, since my mom is already 50, is it a bit late to do this? I'm also quite conflicted about what benefits this ovarian health treatment could have for her body.What kind of help I need: What are the benefits of ovarian health maintenance?
Doctor's answer:
Ovarian care, in a narrow sense, refers to the current practice in beauty salons where medication is applied to the abdomen and massaged to allow the drug to permeate through subcutaneous capillaries into the ovaries. The aforementioned method enables essential oils to penetrate the ovaries, delaying premature ovarian aging and other gynecological diseases. In a broader sense, the concept of ovarian care refers to women maintaining their ovaries in accordance with the cyclical changes of the ovaries to improve ovarian function, enhance ovarian reserve capacity, promote follicular development and ovulation, delay ovarian aging, regulate the menstrual cycle, and slow down the aging process.
