What are the sequelae of premature ovarian failure?

The occurrence of premature ovarian failure can lead to sequelae such as osteoporosis, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, anxiety and depression, which have many adverse effects on the physical and mental health of female patients. It is necessary to deal with it early while the condition is mild, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

1. Osteoporosis

As we all know, estrogen and progesterone in women are very important. The effects of both can be used to prevent osteoporosis in women and keep them healthy and young. However, if female patients have adverse symptoms of premature ovarian failure, their hormone levels will drop significantly, leading to health problems and the risk of osteoporosis in female patients. If the situation is serious, it may even induce serious consequences such as fractures.

2. Affecting sex life

If a female patient has premature ovarian failure, then the female patient's hormone level will inevitably decrease, and then the female patient's sexual desire will inevitably change more significantly. In this case, if the female patient is always very negative in the couple's sexual life, it will inevitably bring a lot of adverse effects to the female patient's relationship with the couple. Over time, it will lead to quarrels between the couple, some disharmony, and in serious cases, even divorce. If the female patient's sexual desire decreases, it will also cause the female patient's vagina to dry up, and forced sexual intercourse will also cause damage to the vaginal mucosa, and then induce a vaginal crisis.

3. Anxiety and depression

The adverse symptoms of premature ovarian failure can lead to a decrease in female hormone levels, which in turn leads to some negative emotions in female patients. Premature ovarian failure can cause female patients to experience menopausal symptoms prematurely, making them anxious and irritable, and accelerating the aging of their bodies, making them prone to aging.
