Why do young women suffer from premature ovarian failure?

Many women under 30 have ovaries in their 40s because they suffer from premature ovarian failure. Later, they experience symptoms such as menstrual disorders, infertility, and decreased libido. So why do young women suffer from premature ovarian failure? Let us know.

Why do young women suffer from premature ovarian failure?

At present, the specific cause of premature ovarian failure is not fully understood. The following studies have found possible causes:

1. Genetic factors: According to statistics, 10% of patients with premature ovarian failure have a family history of genetics. This means that some patients with premature ovarian failure have mothers, sisters, etc. who also have premature ovarian failure.

2. History of surgery: After some ovarian surgeries, even after ovarian removal, there is almost no normal ovarian tissue, and "there are complete eggs under the dumped nest". Or other pelvic surgeries (hysterectomy, tubal ligation or removal, conservative or semi-curative surgery for endometriosis, etc.) damage the blood supply to the ovaries. Without blood nourishment, the ovaries are no longer difficult to "beautiful". Therefore, here I remind you that if you want to have a gynecological operation, you must communicate with the surgeon. During the operation, the damage to the ovaries should be minimized to avoid premature and irreversible ovarian failure. If it is a special case, when choosing life and fertility, gynecologists and reproductive doctors should consult together, comprehensively consider the pros and cons, and give appropriate treatment.

3. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy can cause ovarian cell death, leading to loss of follicles and eventually premature ovarian failure.

4. Viral infection: Studies have shown that some viral infections, such as malaria, chickenpox, and mumps, may also lead to premature ovarian failure.

5. Environmental factors: Air pollution also affects women's reproductive health. Indoor decoration contains harmful substances (such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, etc.), which can damage the female reproductive system and cause menstrual disorders.

6. Smoking and drinking: These are common factors in daily behavior that reduce ovarian reserve function. As the saying goes, smoking harms men's lungs and women's ovaries. Nicotine, cadmium and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cigarettes can poison women's ovaries, cause menstrual disorders and amenorrhea, and further develop into premature ovarian failure. Young girls must pay attention!

7. Autoimmune diseases: Many autoimmune antibodies, such as antinuclear antibodies and anti-ovarian tissue antibodies, have been found to be associated with premature ovarian failure.

In short, so far, premature ovarian failure remains a mystery. If we know the cause of premature ovarian failure, then everyone can treat the cause of premature ovarian failure without worrying about pregnancy. Current research shows that premature ovarian failure may be a complex process involving multiple pathogenic factors and mechanisms.
