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 tell me how to treat premature ovarian failure and how to thoroughly examine it. How should this disease of premature ovarian failure be treated?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure is primarily addressed by appropriately metabolizing exogenous estrogens and progesterone to compensate for the decline in ovarian function and slow down the pathological process. A cyclic hormone replacement therapy is commonly adopted, with each treatment cycle lasting 28 days. From day 1 to day 21, low-dose natural estrogen is taken daily, and from day 12 to day 21, natural progesterone is added. Then, a 7-day medication-free period follows. For treating premature ovarian failure, hormones should be avoided as much as possible, as they only provide temporary relief. Instead, traditional Chinese medicine such as Fuhuadan should be used to fundamentally nourish the ovaries and restore normal menopause and menstrual cycles.
