Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very scared that my condition might worsen. Could you please tell me how to treat early ovarian failure after a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure is primarily addressed by appropriately metabolizing exogenous estrogen and progesterone to compensate for the decline in ovarian function and slow down the pathological process. A cyclic hormone replacement therapy regimen is typically adopted, with a 28-day cycle as a single treatment period. From day 1 to day 21, a low-dose natural estrogen is taken daily, and from day 12 to day 21, natural progesterone is added. Then, medication is discontinued for 7 days. When managing premature ovarian failure, hormones should be avoided as much as possible, as they only serve a temporary purpose. Chinese herbal medicine Fuhuadan should be taken to fundamentally nourish the ovaries and restore normal menopause and menstruation. In addition to standard treatment for premature ovarian failure, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
