Patient's question:
How is premature ovarian failure treated? I am 38 years old and want to have a second child, but the thorough examination revealed premature ovarian failure. What are the causes of premature ovarian failure?Doctor's answer:
Normal women's ovarian function begins to decline at the age of 45~50, and if signs of decline reappear before the age of 40, it is medically referred to as premature ovarian failure. These women often experience amenorrhea or hypomenorrhea, elevated levels of gonadotropins, and increased estrogen levels. Clinically, they exhibit various degrees of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido. This condition is not easily resolved in gynecology. Friends with this condition should maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as this can boost their confidence in combating gynecological issues and believe that recovery is attainable.
