Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have 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 how to effectively treat premature ovarian failure to delay it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if it is confirmed that the condition is premature ovarian failure, the main approach is to appropriately metabolize exogenous estrogen and progesterone to compensate for the insufficient ovarian function and slow down the pathological process. A cyclic hormone replacement therapy is typically adopted, with a 28-day treatment cycle. From day 1 to day 21, a low-dose natural estrogen is taken orally every day, and from day 12 to day 21, natural progesterone is added. Then, the medication is discontinued for 7 days. After stopping the medication in this phase, normal menstruation can be established, effectively stabilizing the symptoms of premature ovarian failure.In addition, during the treatment for premature ovarian failure, it is crucial not only to receive timely treatment but also to pay special attention to the patient's dietary habits and psychological state. The patient must maintain a light diet and consistently keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the recovery of premature ovarian failure.
