What to do if your ovaries shrink

For female friends, ovarian atrophy is very dangerous, because after the ovaries of women shrink, their skin will age very quickly, and after the ovaries shrink, their reproductive function will decline. After that, their menstruation will stop and they will slowly enter the menopause, and then enter the menopause. Therefore, women must delay the aging of their ovaries. So what should we do with ovarian atrophy?

1. Kidney Yin deficiency leads to ovarian aging

In clinical practice, the doctor will first use prescriptions to regulate qi and blood, and "nourish the kidneys and blood" for a period of time. Depending on the situation, the doctor will "promote blood circulation, promote qi and dredge meridians" for the patient. The treatment will take some time. In addition, if the patient has not had her period for 3 or 4 months, the doctor will temporarily use kidney-tonifying, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing prescriptions to help with the onset of menstruation. However, the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs should not be too strong and should not be used for too long.

If women want to take good care of their ovaries and other reproductive systems, the most important thing is not to stay up late and interfere with hormone secretion, especially to go to bed between 11 pm and 1 am. If your period has not come for more than 4 months, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. Symptomatic treatment of premature ovarian failure due to kidney qi deficiency

In addition to amenorrhea, only a few people with premature ovarian failure experience symptoms similar to menopause. However, young women who experience uterine atrophy, menstrual disorders, decreased vaginal secretions, pain during sexual intercourse, or even osteoporosis should adjust their physical condition in a timely manner. It is currently believed that premature ovarian failure is not necessarily irreversible, and active treatment should still be given, especially for patients who wish to have children.
