Premature ovarian failure (POF) refers to amenorrhea before the age of 40 due to ovarian failure in women who have established regular menstruation. It is characterized by amenorrhea accompanied by increased blood gonadotropin levels and decreased estrogen levels, and is accompanied by a range of low estrogen symptoms of varying degrees such as hot flashes and sweating, facial flushing, and low libido. The average natural age of menopause in women is 50-52 years old. There are differences in the racial and regional distribution of the age of menopause, but the absolute values do not differ much. According to statistics, the incidence of POF is 1% for those younger than 40 years old and 0.1% for those younger than 30 years old. POF accounts for 10%-28% in primary amenorrhea and 4%-18% in secondary amenorrhea. POF is not uncommon in clinical practice. In the past decade, the occurrence of premature ovarian failure has been on the rise, and the age of onset tends to be younger, so the prevention of premature ovarian failure in young women is urgent. What are the factors that need to be taken into account in life and are related to premature ovarian failure? We count the following: 1. The first menstruation and fertility status. Premature ovarian failure is related to menarche and fertility status, firstly, to the age of first pregnancy, i.e. the older the age of first pregnancy, the earlier the menopause. The earlier the age of menarche, the earlier the age of menopause. In addition, the longer the breastfeeding time, the later the menopause. 2. Mental factors. Mental tension, excessive anxiety and depression are all high risk factors for premature ovarian failure. 3, lifestyle habits. Women who insist on drinking milk all year round, the more milk they drink, the longer they insist, the later the menopause; women who eat fish and shrimp two to three times a week, the later the age of menopause; women who never exercise, the earlier the age of menopause; the more and longer they are subjected to passive smoking, the earlier the menopause. 4, excessive weight loss. The body fat sharply reduced, when the fat ratio is too low will affect the level of estrogen in the body, because fat is the main raw material for the synthesis of estrogen, insufficient body fat, resulting in insufficient synthesis of estrogen, estrogen reduction and will cause menstrual disorders, and even amenorrhea.
The decrease in estrogen will cause menstrual disorders and even amenorrhea, while abnormal amenorrhea will inhibit the ovarian ovulation function, which will easily cause premature ovarian failure and even infertility if treatment is not timely. The early failure of the ovaries will aggravate the menstrual disorder, thus forming a vicious circle. 5, smoking and drinking and other bad habits. These bad habits can lead to premature ovarian failure, because the nicotine in cigarettes and alcohol in wine interfere with normal menstruation and lead to menstrual disorders. 6, clothing reasons. The pressure of “|shaping underwear” often leads to restricted ovarian development and ovarian injury. Especially young girls wear tight-fitting clothes for a long time, not only will affect the development, but also induce breast enlargement or cysts and other diseases. 7. Systemic disorders. Severe malnutrition, or lack of certain important nutritional factors in the diet, can affect ovarian function and cause female infertility. In addition, with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system may mistakenly treat the germ cells in the ovarian tissue as foreign objects to be killed and destroyed, eventually leading to premature ovarian failure. The reason for this is that there are many causes of premature ovarian failure, such as psychology, disease, and bad habits, so if women want to prevent premature ovarian failure, they need to take care of their ovaries as soon as possible and develop good habits.
