Usually, women\’s ovarian function begins to decline physiologically after the age of 30, but it can still maintain ovarian function for 20 years until around the age of 50, when the ovarian function gradually fails and enters menopause. If a woman suffers from persistent amenorrhea and sexual organ atrophy due to decreased ovarian function before the age of 40, and if an endocrine examination reveals an increase in gonadotropin levels and a decrease in estrogen levels, the clinical manifestations include varying degrees of hot flashes, excessive sweating, Premenopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness and loss of libido are called premature ovarian failure.
The real cause of premature ovarian failure is still unclear, but it may be related to the following factors.
1. Fertility status: The fewer the number of pregnancies, the earlier the menopause. The longer you breastfeed, the later menopause will occur. This is because a woman\’s ovaries temporarily stop ovulating during pregnancy, and ovulation is suppressed during lactation.
2. The results of the lifestyle habits survey show that women who eat fish and shrimp 23 times a week have a later menopausal age; women who exercise have earlier menopause; the longer they are affected by passive smoking, the earlier their menopause.
3. The compression of \”shaping underwear\” causes the development of the ovaries to be restricted and causes damage to the ovaries. Especially for girls, wearing tight clothes for a long time will not only affect their development and physiological functions, but also induce diseases such as breast hyperplasia.
4. The accelerated pace of life leads to excessive psychological pressure. Women in their 30s are in a period of neuroendocrine disorders physiologically. Coupled with problems such as high work pressure, they often bear greater psychological pressure than men. Most middle-aged women in their 40s will experience premenopausal symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, memory loss, soreness in the waist and legs, weakness in the limbs, irregular menstruation, loss of sexual desire, and reduced vaginal immunity.
If premature ovarian failure is not treated in time and amenorrhea is not treated, over time, secondary sexual characteristics may decline, and the breasts may shrink, relax, and lose elasticity; vulvar subcutaneous fat decreases; vaginal epithelium becomes thinner, leading to atrophic vaginal inflammation; bladder epithelium also becomes thinner, which can cause Recurrent episodes of atrophic cystitis cause patients to age prematurely and bring great pain to their physical and mental health and marital life. To prevent premature ovarian failure, you should pay attention to changes in menstruation. For example, if menstruation is scanty and menstruation gradually turns into amenorrhea, it is necessary to prevent the disease before it occurs and receive treatment as early as possible.
