What are the symptoms of premature ovarian failure?

There are still many special parts of the female body. For example, the health of the ovaries cannot be ignored. For female friends, if there is a problem with the ovaries, they will not be able to give birth normally. After all, the ovaries are where the eggs are released. Even women who have given birth will accelerate their aging speed due to premature ovarian failure, and the blow they receive is still very big. So what are the symptoms of premature ovarian failure?

1. Amenorrhea is divided into primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea occurs before the age of 40. A survey of a large sample of POF patients found that there were no characteristic signs of menstrual abnormalities before amenorrhea. Some people suddenly experience amenorrhea after regular menstruation, some experience amenorrhea after stopping birth control pills or giving birth, and some experience irregular menstrual cycles and periods before menopause.

2. Infertility Some patients seek medical treatment for infertility and are diagnosed with premature ovarian failure. Infertility is the main reason for patients with premature ovarian failure to seek medical treatment and suffer. There are primary infertility and secondary infertility, so those with a family history of premature ovarian failure are advised to plan pregnancy as early as possible.

3. Symptoms of low estrogen: Symptoms of low estrogen (hot flashes and/or dyspareunia, etc.) are rare in patients with primary amenorrhea (22.2%). If they occur, they are mostly related to previous use of estrogen replacement therapy. Symptoms of low estrogen are common in patients with secondary amenorrhea (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 with frequent and painful urination.

4. Manifestations of concomitant autoimmune diseases such as Addison's disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo and Crohn's disease. There are also subtle symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, such as recent weight loss, loss of appetite, vague abdominal pain, weakness, increased skin pigmentation, and salt cravings.

The currently recognized diagnostic criteria for premature ovarian failure worldwide are: ⑴ Age < 40 years old. ⑵Amenorrhea duration ≥ 6 months. ⑶ Blood FSH>40mIU/ml twice (more than 1 month apart). Therefore, the diagnosis of premature ovarian failure is not difficult. What is more important is to identify the cause of premature ovarian failure as much as possible to guide clinical treatment.

The above article gives a clear introduction to the symptoms of premature ovarian failure. I hope everyone can have a correct understanding of this. The problem of premature ovarian failure is very serious and will cause considerable trouble and harm to female friends. In short, you must regulate and maintain your ovaries as soon as possible so as not to be easily threatened.
