Ovaries are important endocrine glands for women, and are the source of health and youthfulness for women. Every woman attaches great importance to health and beauty. The following is a discussion of premature ovarian failure. The concept of premature ovarian failure: in short, the premature decline of ovarian function Normal women generally have menopause and begin to age around 49 years old. Premature ovarian failure refers to the appearance of secondary amenorrhea before the age of 40, with the typical clinical manifestation of premature menopause, accompanied by some symptoms of perimenopause (menopause) such as baking heat and sweating, distraction and insomnia, memory loss, etc., in common parlance, premature aging. In the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, it is mentioned that a woman’s “7-7 Ren pulse is deficient, the Tai Chong pulse is weak, the Heavenly sap is exhausted, and the earthly channel is not accessible, so the form is bad and childless.” It is pointed out that women lose their fertility and start to age around 49 years old, which is consistent with modern understanding. If a woman goes through menopause too early, not only will her reproductive function decline or be lost, but her health and beauty will also be affected. The causes of premature ovarian failure The causes of premature ovarian failure are the following: first, genetic factors, due to genetic mutations leading to premature ovarian failure; second, enzyme deficiency diseases; third, immune factors, body immune dysfunction spill over to the ovaries; the above can be interpreted as what Chinese medicine calls congenital endowment deficiency. Fourth, external factors (including medical), surgery, drugs, radiation, viral infections, smoking and environmental pollution damage to the ovaries; fifth, other factors, such as excessive emotional stimulation, poor living habits, eating disorders, etc.; sixth, unexplained premature ovarian failure. The kidneys are the root of the innate, and the lack of innate endowment and loss of nourishment can lead to premature ovarian failure. In women with premature ovarian failure, before the age of 40, menstrual periods become sporadic, shorten, decrease in menstrual flow, and gradually become amenorrheic and infertile, accompanied by perimenopausal symptoms, atrophy of reproductive organs, and other clinical manifestations of autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc. Blood tests for hormone levels show elevated levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone and decreased levels of estrogen. or family history. In Chinese medicine, the symptoms of premature ovarian failure should appear around the age of 49, including menstrual disorders, dizziness and tinnitus, sweating, redness and hot flashes, irritability, swelling of the face and limbs, incontinence, weakness of the waist and knees, etc. These symptoms should be considered if they appear too early. The main treatment is hormone replacement therapy to supplement the estrogen deficiency. Western medicine treatment is mainly hormone replacement therapy to replenish estrogen deficiency. Chinese medicine treatment is mostly based on the “evidence before and after menstruation break”, which is divided into three types of evidence: kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency and yin and yang deficiency. The kidney yin deficiency is characterized by scanty menstruation or amenorrhea, dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and dreaminess, sweating and heat, irritability of the five hearts, itching of the skin, weakness of the waist and legs, dryness of the vagina, red tongue with little coating and fine pulse, etc. The kidney yang deficiency is characterized by excessive menstruation or dripping, or amenorrhea, weakness of the waist and knees, swelling of the face and limbs, coldness and fear of cold, loose stools, frequent urinary incontinence, light tongue with thin coating and sunken and weak pulse. If the above two types of symptoms are combined, the patient should be treated with Erxian Tang and Erzhi Wan. In addition, we can also refer to “late menstruation”, “menorrhagia”, “amenorrhea”, “infertility”, etc. The treatment should be based on evidence. Premature ovarian failure is very important to prevent and treat. Premature ovarian failure is related to women’s health and beauty, and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and colorectal cancer, resulting in a significant decrease in the quality of life of female patients, so it should be taken seriously by women. The family history of early prediction and fertility guidance, early detection, early prevention; once diagnosed with premature ovarian failure should be treated in a timely manner, can use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine methods. In daily life, you should learn to reduce stress, regulate your emotions, avoid some bad habits such as lack of sleep, dieting, wearing tight underwear for a long time, not eating soy products and fresh green leafy vegetables, etc. Chinese medicine advocates regularity in life, living at times, eating in moderation, combining work and rest, being at peace with the situation, being calm, following nature and regulating the body, all of which are of guidance in preventing premature ovarian failure.
