Can hypothyroidism cause premature ovarian failure?

Hypothyroidism refers to underactive thyroid gland, and premature ovarian failure refers to early ovarian insufficiency. Hypothyroidism often leads to early ovarian insufficiency, but if the physical fitness is better, it will not cause it. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Hypothyroidism can cause premature ovarian failure:

Hypothyroidism is a disease caused by reduced synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones. When this disease occurs, patients often experience discomfort symptoms such as fear of cold, less sweating, weakness, drowsiness, loss of appetite, memory loss, loss of libido, constipation, and abdominal distension. When the disease occurs, the patient's immunity will decrease, and it is easy to have problems such as physical weakness and insufficient qi and blood, which will affect the blood supply to the ovaries. If the ovaries do not have enough nutrition supply, symptoms such as weak ovulation, menstrual disorders, and amenorrhea will appear, which will lead to early ovarian dysfunction over time.

2. Hypothyroidism cannot cause premature ovarian failure:

The disease can cause endocrine disorders and affect the secretion of female sex hormones. Patients generally have a decrease in estrogen and an increase in gonadotropin levels, which can also lead to oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea in women, and long-term effects on ovarian function and early ovarian insufficiency. However, if the patient has good physical fitness, she is usually treated with medications such as levothyroxine sodium tablets and thyroid tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital in time to identify the cause and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the disease.
