Patient's question:
I have noticed that my menstrual flow has been decreasing over the past year, and it has even stopped completely now. I have visited the hospital and seen a doctor, who diagnosed me with premature ovarian failure and prescribed me a lot of medication. However, the treatment has not been very effective, and sometimes I still feel severe abdominal pain and mild edema in my legs and feet.What kind of assistance is needed: What should I do about premature ovarian failure and amenorrhea?
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms and clinical manifestations of premature ovarian failure are accompanied by varying degrees of hot flashes, excessive sweating, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and other premenopausal symptoms. In addition to amenorrhea, only a small number of individuals with premature ovarian failure exhibit symptoms similar to those of menopause syndrome. In cases of gonadal hypoplasia, menarche is delayed or menstrual cycles are irregular. The decline in gonadal function manifests as symptoms such as thirst, constipation, acne, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, decreased libido, hypothyroidism, urinary tract infections, weight gain, anxiety, and suspicion.
