Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, I 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 will worsen. How can I treat early ovarian failure?Doctor's answer:
Currently, Western medicine primarily treats premature ovarian failure by appropriately metabolizing exogenous estrogen and progesterone to compensate for the deficiency in ovarian function and slow down the pathological process. A cyclical hormone replacement therapy is generally adopted, with a 28-day treatment cycle. From day 1 to day 21, low-dose natural estrogen is taken orally every day, and natural progesterone is added from day 12 to day 21. Then, the medication is discontinued for 7 days to allow menstruation to occur. This method of simulating the normal menstrual cycle of women can allow the ovaries to gradually restore their existing function. This hormone replacement therapy requires persistence and continuous adjustment of the type of medication, dosage, combination method, and route of administration under the guidance of a doctor.
