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 will worsen. Could you please tell me what are the common causes of premature ovarian failure?Doctor's answer:
1. Congenital absence of ovaries or immature ovaries, certain ovarian tumors such as granulosa-theca cell tumors, and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors can all affect ovarian hormone secretion and menopause, leading to female infertility;2. Systemic diseases such as severe malnutrition or a diet lacking essential nutrients can affect ovarian function and cause female infertility;
3. Chronic diseases, catabolic disorders such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and adrenal gland dysfunction can also lead to female infertility;
4. Central influences: Hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian endocrine imbalance, pituitary tumors, or scars can all disrupt ovarian endocrine function, leading to female infertility.
