Whether Premature Ovarian Failure Affects Pregnancy: Six Major Hazards to Pay Attention to

The ovaries are an important organ in the female body, and abnormal situations can occur when not paying attention. Premature ovarian failure is one of them, and we must pay attention to it, especially its harmfulness.

Does premature ovarian failure affect pregnancy

The ovary is the most important reproductive organ in women and the main reproductive endocrine gland. It has two main functions, one is reproductive function, namely the generation of mature follicles and ovulation; The second is the secretion of sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, androgen, etc.), which participate in the physiological regulation of the body, maintain the balance of the secretion system, and maintain female characteristics and posture. The decline of ovarian function first affects the reproductive physiological function of women, leading to their inability to produce and discharge qualified and mature eggs, thereby affecting pregnancy; Secondly, it can have a certain impact on women's body shape, skin, hair, and even voice, and may lead to varying degrees of symptoms of menopausal syndrome.

The reasons why premature ovarian failure affects 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. At the same time, excessive testosterone can hinder follicles and ovulation, promoting 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 difference between specific inflammation and non-specific inflammation. Due to infection with bacteria, ovarian inflammation can lead to severe sequelae such as ovarian adhesions, ovarian fallopian tube encapsulation, ovarian fallopian tube abscess and blockage, ovarian ovulation disorders, and infertility.

Hazards of premature ovarian failure

1. Osteoporosis: premature ovarian failure is gradually becoming younger, and the incidence rate is also very high. A hospital found poor ovarian function from the physical examination records of 1500 women, and 12 women entered menopause early. Decreased estrogen levels in women can lead to bone pain, hunchback, and low height.
