Patient's question:
Recently, I have frequently experienced reduced menstrual volume, shortened menstrual periods, and prolonged menstrual cycles. After examination, it was found to be premature ovarian failure. I would like to ask how should one treat premature ovarian failure?Doctor's answer:
1. Second-order neuron orchitis of parotitis: It is the most common cause of premature ovarian failure. Due to the destruction of ovarian function caused by second-order neuron orchitis, the ovaries become insensitive to the influence of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, failing to produce the expected response.2. Autoimmune mechanisms in the body: Issues with the body's autoimmune mechanisms, such as rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid diseases, and genetic factors, are also important reasons leading to premature ovarian failure.
3. Fertility status: It is related to the age of the first pregnancy. The older the age of the first pregnancy, the earlier menopause occurs. Additionally, the longer the breastfeeding period, the later menopause occurs. Furthermore, the longer the duration of taking oral contraceptives, the later menopause occurs.
