Causes of premature ovarian failure

Clinically, women with premature ovarian failure often find themselves suffering from premature ovarian failure when they are preparing for pregnancy because they can't get pregnant and go to the hospital for examination. The cause of premature ovarian failure is amenorrhea, which is usually related to heredity. Of course, it is also related to the patient's emotional depression and environmental pollution, as well as the patient's excessive psychological pressure, For women with family history of premature ovarian failure, we suggest that pregnancy planning should be carried out as soon as possible to avoid difficulties in pregnancy caused by diseases.

Premature ovarian failure can be diagnosed by B-ultrasound examination. Through examination, we can see that the smaller uterus and the ovaries on both sides are obviously atrophied. Laparoscopic examination can also find that the ovarian volume is shrinking, basically no corpus luteum can be seen, the uterine volume is obviously smaller, and it is difficult to find follicles and ovulation holes.

For young women with premature ovarian failure, if the condition is not serious, we suggest that patients use estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy, which can slow down the symptoms of the disease and prevent complications, but long-term estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy can increase the risk of breast cancer, so we need to be careful.
