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 afraid my condition might worsen. Could you please advise where it would be ideal to get tested for early ovarian failure?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure, once diagnosed, does not require reversal. The best approach is to maintain the current status and avoid focusing solely on alleviating menopausal symptoms. Although estrogen and progesterone can restore menstruation, the return of menstruation after their use is temporary. Menstruation will cease after discontinuing the medication. Long-term use of estrogen carries a risk of cancer, so from a health perspective, it is not recommended. However, natural estrogens such as soy isoflavones can be used to stabilize menopausal discomfort.In addition to timely treatment, a patient's dietary habits and psychological state are particularly important during the treatment of premature ovarian failure. Patients should maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the recovery of premature ovarian failure.
