Patient's question:
Early menopause has been an issue for two years. In the past two years, things were very tight, and there were many things to resolve, so it kept getting delayed. Now I realize the problem is very serious, and I don't know what to do. I want a child and am wondering what kind of assistance I need: What should I do about early menopause?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure (POF) refers to the phenomenon where women experience a decline in ovarian function before the age of 40. The symptoms of POF include amenorrhea, uterine atrophy, increased vaginal discharge, dyspareunia, and even osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatments are often recommended for POF. Commonly used herbs include those that nourish yin, reduce internal heat, tonify the kidneys, invigorate blood circulation, which are combined with estrogen to gradually restore ovarian function and create an artificial menstrual cycle.
