Premature ovarian failure refers to the premature decline of ovarian function, which generally leads to infertility. Many women only discover that they have premature ovarian failure when they undergo fertility examinations. In fact, when women suffer from premature ovarian failure, their bodies will have some symptoms, but they don’t know it. So, what are the eight major symptoms of premature ovarian failure? Today I will introduce them to you in detail. What are the eight symptoms of premature ovarian failure
1. Menstrual irregularity. Menstrual irregularity is a common and earliest symptom in patients with premature ovarian failure. The main symptoms of premature ovarian failure include early or delayed menstruation, sudden increase or decrease in menstrual flow, purple or red menstrual flow, thin or thick menstrual blood, etc.
2. Infertility. The ovaries are the organs that produce eggs. If there is a problem with the ovaries, it will directly affect female reproduction. Decreased ovarian function and ovarian atrophy can lead to infertility.
3. Urinary tract diseases. In patients with premature ovarian failure, due to the decrease in estrogen, the urethra and bladder atrophy, leading to frequent urination, urgency, urinary incontinence and other phenomena.
4. Dark yellow skin. People with premature ovarian failure are prone to wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and pigmentation of the skin on the face, back of hands, or lower legs. In addition, their hair will gradually fall out and gray hair will appear.
5. Psychiatric symptoms. Worry, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, irritability, insomnia, even moodiness, etc. The symptoms are especially obvious in women who have been mentally unstable in the past.
6. Bone and joint symptoms. Osteoporosis is the most important complication for postmenopausal women, manifesting as soreness in the neck, waist, back, shoulders, knees, and arms; the incidence of fractures has increased significantly, and the common locations are ribs, vertebrae, hips, and limbs. and femoral neck.
7. Reduced estrogen. Typical patients with premature ovarian failure often have loose and rough skin, hot flashes, sweating, irritability, vaginal dryness, difficulty in sexual intercourse, dyspareunia, decreased or even loss of sexual desire, hypothyroidism, weight gain, anxiety, paranoia, painful urination and breast atrophy. Symptoms such as sagging.
8. Cardiovascular disease. Menopausal hypertension is characterized by mainly elevated systolic blood pressure with large fluctuations; or "pseudoangina" occurs, often with self-reported precordial spasm, palpitations, paroxysmal tachycardia or bradycardia. Because estrogen can lower blood lipids and prevent arteriosclerosis, postmenopausal women are more likely to suffer from hypertension and coronary heart disease before menopause.
