Nowadays, some women may experience premature ovarian failure, which usually requires early treatment and medication. This can be controlled through medication, but it will not be completely cured. Long term medication can also be used through adjustment or health supplements, depending on the doctor's diagnosis. Below, we will explain the health knowledge about premature ovarian failure.
1、 Should hormones be used for premature ovarian failure
Premature ovarian failure cannot be completely treated and can be treated with hormone replacement therapy, which requires long-term medication. This is a dilemma, long-term use of hormone replacement therapy has both advantages and disadvantages However, there is another option, which is to take traditional Chinese medicine. This medicine does not have the side effects caused by hormones, and it is recommended to consider taking it as well
2、 Causes of premature ovarian failure
1. Genetic factors
Through careful analysis of family history, the incidence rate of familial POF is reported to be 4%~31% in different populations, which shows that genetic factors play a major role in POF. The abnormality of X chromosome has always been recognized as the main cause of POF, and with the progress of molecular biology, researchers have also discovered more and more candidate genes related to POF on autosomes.
2. Immune factors
Since the 1950s, researchers have found that 9%~40% of POF patients have other autoimmune diseases of endocrine glands or systems, such as autoimmune thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, hypoparathyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, diabetes, etc. POF patients often have two or more autoimmune diseases, and among all autoimmune diseases associated with POF, thyroid disease is the most common cause.
3、 Symptoms of premature ovarian failure
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 are diagnosed with 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.
The above is about the symptoms and causes of premature ovarian failure in women, which need to be specifically examined at the hospital to know. Early treatment is also possible. Traditional Chinese medicine is now very effective in gynecological treatment, and can be effectively regulated through regulation. It is important to pay attention to hygiene in daily life, and it is generally not recommended to take hormone drugs for a long time as it can have too many side effects.
