Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, my husband and I have been trying to have a second child for almost a year but still haven't conceived. I heard from a neighbor that she also couldn't get pregnant at first, but later was diagnosed with early ovarian failure. I'm very worried that I might also have this condition, and I'd like to know what symptoms are associated with this disease.Doctor's answer:
First, secondary infertility due to gonadal development, followed by gradually decreasing menstrual cycles over several years until amenorrhea, ultimately leading to infertility. Second, individuals with undeveloped gonads, primary amenorrhea, or incomplete gonadal development may experience delayed menarche, irregular menstruation, and dysmenorrhea. Third, in cases with ovulation, typical symptoms include hot flashes, signs of gonadal dysfunction, such as night sweats, constipation, hair loss, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, decreased libido, hypothyroidism, urinary tract infections, weight gain, anxiety, and suspicion. Fourth, breast atrophy and ptosis, loose and rough skin, tension, frequent dreams, suspicion, palpitations, osteoporosis, joint pain, genital inflammation, uterine prolapse, urinary incontinence, constipation, acne, and hyperpigmentation.
