Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, a friend said that her menstrual cycle has been irregular for these past few months. She's sad because it's early ovarian failure. She wants to ask, how can one prevent early ovarian failure?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure, the cause of which is not yet fully understood so far, should be the first consideration if menopause recurs before the age of 40. Generally, it is accompanied by symptoms such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, and irritability. Laboratory tests of sex hormone levels will reveal a significant decline in gonadal hormone levels and a slight increase in estrogen levels.Premature ovarian failure has a very strong family hereditary tendency. Therefore, if there is a family history of this condition, it is advisable to consider early childbirth. Treatment typically involves hormonal rebalancing, as there is no definitive cure.
