Patient's question:
I have always had problems with my ovaries, and the test results are not very good. I am very worried but don't know how to do it well. What is the definition of early menopause?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure refers to women who have established regular menstrual cycles, experiencing persistent amenorrhea and atrophic changes in genital organs before the age of 40 due to ovarian dysfunction. This condition is often accompanied by elevated levels of gonadotropins and decreased estrogen levels. Clinical manifestations include varying degrees of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido, leading to premature aging in patients and causing significant physical and mental distress, as well as pain in marital life.To halt the progression of premature ovarian failure, it is crucial to pay attention to changes in menstrual cycles, such as oligomenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, and eventually amenorrhea. By taking preventive measures before the onset of the disease, one can mitigate its impact. It is recommended that you seek a specialized hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment.
