What are the causes of premature ovarian failure?

Patient's question:

Recently, my menstrual cycle has been abnormal. It's been about two and a half months since my last period, and I haven't been able to get pregnant either. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have premature ovarian failure. What assistance I need: What are the causes of premature ovarian failure?

Doctor's answer:

The main reasons leading to premature ovarian failure are as follows:
1. Excessive psychological stress: A slow pace of life can also cause excessive psychological stress, which may lead to women experiencing early symptoms of a silent menopause.
2. Related to fertility status: This is primarily associated with the age of the first pregnancy. The older the age of the first pregnancy, the earlier menopause occurs. Additionally, the longer the duration of breastfeeding, the later menopause occurs. Similarly, the longer the duration of taking oral contraceptives, the later menopause occurs.
