Many modern women are also experts in the workplace, and may experience hormonal imbalances due to certain dietary habits or life pressures. Early menstruation is a manifestation of endocrine disorders. There is a saying that early menstruation can lead to premature ovarian failure. What is the reason for this? Below, the editor would like to learn about relevant knowledge content with everyone, hoping to help you.
1. Amenorrhea is divided into primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea, with secondary amenorrhea occurring before the age of 40. Through a survey of a large sample of POF patients, it was found that there were no characteristic signs of menstrual abnormalities before amenorrhea. Some people experience sudden amenorrhea after a regular menstrual cycle, some experience amenorrhea after discontinuing contraceptive pills or giving birth, and some experience menstrual cycle and menstrual irregularities before amenorrhea.
2. Some infertile patients were found to have premature ovarian failure due to infertility treatment. Infertility is the main cause of medical treatment and distress for patients with premature ovarian failure. There are both primary and secondary infertility, so it is recommended that those with a family history of premature ovarian failure plan pregnancy as early as possible.
3. Low estrogen symptoms (hot flashes and/or difficulty in sexual intercourse, etc.) are rare in primary amenorrhea patients (22.2%), and if present, they are mostly related to previous use of estrogen replacement therapy. Low estrogen symptoms are common in secondary amenorrhea patients (85.6%). This is consistent with the theory that low estrogen symptoms are caused by estrogen withdrawal. These low estrogen symptoms also include atrophic vaginitis and atrophic urethritis such as frequent urination and painful urination.
4. The manifestations of associated autoimmune diseases include Addison's disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo and Crohn's disease. In addition, there are hidden symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, such as recent weight loss, decreased appetite, unclear abdominal pain, weakness, increased skin pigmentation, and salt intolerance.
