Patient's question:
Recently, I have frequently experienced reduced menstrual volume, shortened menstrual periods, and prolonged menstrual cycles. After examination, it was found that I have premature ovarian failure. How can premature ovarian failure be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure patients may suddenly experience secondary amenorrhea during normal menstrual cycles. Their symptoms typically manifest as shortened menstrual periods, menstrual oligomenorrhea, reduced menstrual flow, and gradual cessation of menstruation. In very few cases, menstrual cycles and periods become completely chaotic. Menstrual disorders are the first clues to the discovery of premature ovarian failure. Some patients with infertility may be diagnosed with premature ovarian failure during follow-up visits due to infertility. Some patients may experience recurrent low libido, sexual difficulties, or sexual pain, as well as symptoms of atrophic vaginitis and atrophic urethritis, such as urinary difficulties, frequent urination, urinary urgency, nocturia, or stress urinary incontinence. During the treatment of premature ovarian failure, in addition to timely medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important.
