Will ovulation induction cause premature ovarian failure?

A woman ovulates between 400 and 500 times in her lifetime. Once all ovulations are completed, there will be no more ovulation. Therefore, excessive ovulation stimulation will lead to premature ovarian decline. There is currently no good way to delay ovarian decline, but women should pay attention to relieving stress, combining work and rest, cultivating their character, ensuring sleep, and exercising moderately, which are beneficial to the health of the reproductive system.

1. A woman ovulates 400 to 500 times in her lifetime

Experts point out that ovaries are very important to women. The main functions of the ovaries are: first, to produce eggs and ovulate; second, to synthesize and secrete hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, androgen and various growth factors, which control more than 40 parts of nine major systems of the human body, including skeleton, immunity, reproduction, and nerves, and maintain the normal functions of these systems and organs.

As women age, their ovaries undergo a series of changes. In the neonatal period, the ovaries have approximately 2 million follicles. During childhood, most of the follicles degenerate, and by puberty only about 300,000 follicles remain. In a woman's lifetime, generally only 400 to 500 follicles develop, mature and ovulate. The weight of an adult woman's ovaries is 5 to 6 grams, and they shrink and become smaller after menopause.

2. The egg is released but not regenerated, and excessive ovulation leads to premature ovarian decline

In order to increase their pregnancy rate, some women now frequently take ovulation-stimulating drugs, thinking that it doesn't matter if they release a few more eggs, as they will grow again on their own after being released. This view is extremely wrong and it is very harmful to the ovaries.

You have to know that women are born with a certain number of eggs in their lifetime. When one is excreted, there is one less and they cannot be regenerated. Once the eggs are exhausted, the decline of ovarian function will be irreversible.

Excessive ovulation will not only cause menopause to come early, but also cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Excessive ovulation can also increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Therefore, it is very important to cherish eggs and protect ovaries.

The method of inducing ovulation to increase the chance of pregnancy should not be excessive. Generally speaking, natural cycle ovulation induction should be controlled within 3 to 6 months. If conception still cannot occur, other methods should be used, such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. In the outpatient clinic, she often encountered infertile patients who repeatedly underwent ovulation induction for up to 10 months, leading to premature ovarian decline.

Experts point out that there is currently no good way to delay ovarian decline, but women should pay attention to relieving stress, combining work and rest, cultivating their character, ensuring sleep, and exercising moderately, which are beneficial to the health of the reproductive system.
