Premature Ovarian Failure

In normal women, ovarian function begins to decline only at the age of about 45-50 years. Premature ovarian failure, then, refers to amenorrhea caused for some reason before the age of 40 and is a disease characterized by a lack of (or low) estrogen and elevated gonadotropin levels. The exact cause of premature ovarian failure is not yet well understood. However, there is a definite association with the following factors: 1. immune factors. Most immune diseases, such as thyroiditis, are often combined with premature ovarian failure. The removal of both or one ovary before the age of 40 can cause ovarian tissue deficiency or reduction, eventually leading to premature ovarian failure. In the past, it was thought that after the removal of one ovary, the opposite ovary could maintain normal endocrine function. Recent studies have found that after the removal of one ovary, the level of sex hormones secreted by the ovary decreases and the chance of osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms increases. 3. Repeated abortions are likely to induce premature ovarian failure. 4. Idiopathic premature ovarian failure. It is a kind of secondary amenorrhea without clear causative factors and is the most important type of premature ovarian failure. It is the most important type of premature ovarian failure. It develops in the reproductive age, with progressive or progressive menstrual scarcity, followed by amenorrhea with hot flashes, irritability, and gradual atrophy of the internal and external genitalia. 5.Infection. Viruses such as herpes simplex virus and mumps virus can cause ovarian inflammation or immune ovarian damage leading to premature ovarian failure. The decline of ovarian function is a gradual process. In the majority of patients, premature ovarian failure is preceded by menstrual disorders (often scanty menstruation), hot flashes, irritability, forgetfulness and other perimenopausal symptoms, marked aging, dry skin and osteoporosis in women. It is worth noting that under normal circumstances women cannot feel their ovaries when lying down, they are deep inside the pelvis, with the bladder in front and the rectum at the back; when doing abdominal ultrasound, the patient must drink enough water to fill up the bladder before the ultrasound doctor can see the ovaries. Therefore, general massage cannot reach the ovaries at all, unless there is a tumor. In the case of tumors, massage is likely to have serious consequences of promoting the growth of the tumor or even its rupture. Therefore, I hope that the majority of women do not listen to the lies of some beauty institutions to promote the “maintenance of ovaries”.
