Patient's question:
It has been more than four months since I went through menopause, and I just found out that I have premature ovarian failure.Doctor's answer:
Premature ovarian failure refers to women with regular menstrual cycles who have previously experienced natural cycles, and before the age of 40, due to the decline in ovarian function, leading to persistent ovarian atrophic amenorrhea and atrophy of sexual organs (such as uterine atrophy, disappearance of vaginal rugae, and vulvar atrophy, etc.). It is usually accompanied by a decrease in estrogen levels. The normal decline in ovarian function in women typically begins around the ages of 45 to 50. If signs of decline appear before the age of 40, it is medically termed premature ovarian failure. Such women often experience amenorrhea or hypomenorrhea.Medical advice: After developing premature ovarian failure, patients may experience hot flashes, excessive sweating, frequent dreams, amenorrhea, reduced vaginal secretions, and vulvar atrophy. For young, childless women, it can lead to infertility, and active treatment should be pursued. The treatment for premature ovarian failure can include using traditional Chinese medicine, such as the Miao ethnic group's Huichun Decoction, which has shown quite good effects.
