Patient's question:
The estrogen and An Gong, for the first six months, came on time, but then one month later it stopped coming again. After eating for another month, it still didn't come. Now, I have stopped the Western medicine for two months and have been taking Chinese medicine for two months. How can I deal with premature ovarian failure and amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure refers to women who have established regular menstrual cycles, experiencing persistent amenorrhea and genital swelling due to ovarian dysfunction before the age of 40. This condition is often accompanied by elevated levels of gonadotropins and increased estrogen, presenting with varying degrees of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido. These symptoms cause patients to age prematurely, bringing significant physical and mental distress to them and their partners. To halt the progression of premature ovarian failure, it is crucial to monitor changes in menstruation, such as oligomenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, and eventually amenorrhea.
