Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how to treat and alleviate symptoms in the early stages of premature ovarian failure?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure refers to the phenomenon of menopause occurring before the age of 40 due to the weakening of ovarian function. Its characteristics include primary or secondary amenorrhea accompanied by elevated levels of gonadotropins and decreased estrogen levels, as well as a range of low-estrogen symptoms of varying severity, such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, facial flushing, and decreased libido. Traditional Chinese medicine adjusts the endocrine system in cases of premature ovarian failure primarily through its hormone-like effects on reproductive function, which promote the restoration of the ovaries' own function. It also regulates nutritional catabolism and the absorption of trace elements, as well as reduces the side effects of hormones, thereby guiding the process to allow the ovaries to gradually recover their function.
