What is premature ovarian failure amenorrhea?

Premature ovarian failure refers to women who have established regular menstruation but before the age of 40 experience persistent amenorrhea and sexual organ atrophy due to ovarian dysfunction, often with increased gonadotropin levels and decreased estrogen levels. The clinical manifestations are accompanied by varying degrees of pre- and post-menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido, causing premature aging of patients and bringing great pain to their physical and mental health and married life.

Normal women's ovarian function begins to decline when they are 45 to 50 years old. If signs of decline appear before the age of 40, it is medically called premature ovarian failure. Such women often have amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea, increased gonadotropin levels and decreased estrogen levels. The clinical manifestations are varying degrees of hot flashes, sweating, vaginal dryness, decreased libido and other pre- and post-menopausal symptoms.

The decline of ovarian function can cause varying degrees of menopausal syndrome symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, anxiety, depression, irritability, etc. Due to vaginal dryness and insufficient lubrication, not only will the sexual life of the couple be greatly affected, but it can also cause damage to the vaginal mucosa, which can easily cause viral and bacterial infections, induce vaginitis or aggravate the original condition, and have a great impact on the quality of life and mental and physical health.

Clinically, if there is a tendency of premature ovarian failure or if it has already occurred, treatment should be given as soon as possible. There is a close relationship between the length of the course of the disease and the efficacy. Early detection and early treatment have better efficacy, while long-term treatment is difficult to treat. In the long-term treatment of premature ovarian failure, it is necessary to combine the relevant food therapy of blood and flesh products that nourish the kidney and essence, strengthen the spleen and nourish the blood, and the medicine and food are treated together, complementing each other.
