What should I do if I have premature ovarian failure at the age of 15?

Premature ovarian failure at the age of 15 can be caused by genetic factors, autoimmune thyroiditis, iatrogenic injury, etc., and can be treated with general treatment and drugs.

1. Genetic factors:

If the patient has chromosomal abnormalities due to genetic factors, it is easy to affect normal ovarian function. For example, the X chromosome is unique to women and can maintain normal ovarian function when the structure is intact. Gene mutations can cause X chromosome abnormalities and easy breakage, thus affecting normal ovarian function. Premature ovarian failure is caused by congenital genetic factors and is difficult to treat. If there is infertility, pregnancy can be achieved through in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.

2. Autoimmune thyroiditis:

If the patient has autoimmune thyroiditis, the body will produce corresponding antibodies to attack its own tissues, destroying the follicles in the ovaries, causing the follicles to fail to develop or mature. Patients can take drugs such as azathioprine tablets, levothyroxine sodium tablets, and prednisone acetate tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Iatrogenic injury:

If the patient receives radiotherapy, chemotherapy or takes immunosuppressants for a long time, such as compound cyclophosphamide tablets, tripterygium wilfordii tablets and other drugs that inhibit ovarian function, it is easy to cause developmental abnormalities. You can stop taking them under the guidance of your doctor, or you can follow the doctor's advice and take progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets, valerate diol tablets and other drugs to relieve them.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid affecting your normal life.
