The ovaries are an important part of the female body, and we should pay attention to their maintenance. However, due to various reasons, women can also experience premature ovarian failure, and its harm is also quite serious. We should pay attention to it.
Premature ovarian failure can affect pregnancy
1. Inhibition of normal ovarian function leads to decreased ovarian function, which can manifest as sparse menstruation, reduced menstrual flow, anovulation, and luteal insufficiency, ultimately leading to amenorrhea. This can also lead to infertility
2. Affects ovulation function, some accompanied by an increase in testosterone (T) in the blood. Elevated testosterone can neutralize estradiol in the blood, causing a decrease in estradiol, affecting follicular development and normal ovulation. Excessive testosterone can hinder follicles and ovulation, leading to their atrophy and atresia. Without normal ovulation, it can lead to infertility.
3. Premature ovarian failure is characterized by excessive levels of follicle estrogens (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in the blood, which feedback the inhibition of ovarian estradiol and progesterone. It is called premature ovarian failure. Firstly, menstrual flow decreases, followed by 1-2 months after the menstrual cycle, and finally amenorrhea. Irregular menstruation or amenorrhea can naturally lead to infertility.
4. Premature ovarian failure may be accompanied by ovarian inflammation, which is included within the range of female pelvic inflammatory disease. There is a distinction between specific inflammation and non-specific inflammation. Due to infection with bacteria, inflammation of the ovaries can lead to severe sequelae such as ovarian adhesions, ovarian fallopian tube encapsulation, ovarian fallopian tube abscesses, tubal obstruction, and ovarian ovulation disorders, leading to infertility.
Hazards of premature ovarian failure
1. Decline or loss of fertility: It is well known that as women age, their reproductive ability decreases, and the root cause of this decline is a decrease in ovarian function, i.e. a decrease in the quality of egg count. The key to success in assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization, is to reduce ovarian reserve capacity. Most premature aging women give away or adopt eggs because they cannot obtain satisfactory ones, which brings huge economic and mental burden. The probability of natural pregnancy in premature ovarian failure patients is less than 5-10%.
2. Abnormal uterine bleeding: Hormonal fluctuations in individuals with ovarian dysfunction lead to anovulatory abnormal uterine bleeding, clinically manifested as menstrual disorders, increased menstrual volume, and frequent cycles. Long term anovulation or infrequent menstruation can lead to excessive endometrial hyperplasia, leading to cancer and affecting health.
