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. Please advise on how to alleviate early menopause-induced amenorrhea.Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a relatively common condition. It refers to the recurrence of amenorrhea in women after the completion of pubertal development and before the age of 40, accompanied by low estrogen levels, high gonadotropin concentrations, and sometimes symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, infrequent menstruation, or menopause. It is very similar to physiological menopause, and some scholars also refer to it as early menopause or early-onset menopause.There are no specific dietary restrictions for POF, but it is recommended to consume more jujubes (red dates), mackerel, and peaches. Bee milk or royal jelly can also be taken, preferably with warm water.
In addition, during the treatment of POF, apart from immediate relief, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also very important. It is essential to avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the recovery of POF.
