　　Premature ovarian failure is often mentioned in television and newspaper advertisements. What exactly is premature ovarian failure? Memorial of Sun Yat-sen at Sun Yat-sen University Hospital Professor Lin Zhongqiu, deputy dean and director of the Department of Gynecological Oncology, said that women who experience reduced ovarian function before the age of 40 are called premature ovarian failure. It means menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, early menopause, infertility, and some patients may also experience symptoms similar to menopausal syndrome. Although these are not systemic signs of aging, they are the last thing women want to see. But nowadays, cases of premature ovarian failure in young women in hospitals are becoming more and more common and can occur at different ages. How should ladies take care of their ovaries?

　　Health reminder

　　Sex can protect the ovaries

　　Associate Professor Zhang Bingzhong, deputy director of the Department of Gynecological Oncology, reminded that women, especially middle-aged women, should pay attention to taking care of their ovaries. “However, there is still no reliable method to prevent premature ovarian failure. ”At present, many beauty salons claim to be able to do ovarian care. He believes that the ovaries are located in the lower part of the abdominal cavity and are deeply hidden. The effect of essential oil massage and other methods is unclear, and women should not be blindly superstitious.

　　You may wish to maintain a good mood and establish a scientific lifestyle to avoid the occurrence of premature ovarian failure. For example, pay attention to a balanced diet, ensure moderate exercise, and maintain adequate sleep. In addition, vitamin E can scavenge free radicals and improve skin Flexibility, delaying gonadal atrophy, and regulating immune function. Everyone should consume more foods rich in vitamin E, such as fruits and vegetables, nuts, lean meats, dairy, eggs, pressed vegetable oils, etc. In addition, a harmonious sexual life can also enhance immunity and delay the degradation of ovarian function.

　　At present, the cause of premature ovarian failure is not completely clear. In addition to mumps in childhood, immune system imbalance in the body is also an important cause of premature ovarian failure. Lin Zhongqiu also found that patients with premature ovarian failure have some patterns: most of them have early menarche, short breastfeeding time (or no breastfeeding), and older age at first pregnancy. Therefore, these people should pay special attention to their irregular menstruation patterns and pay attention to nutrition and sleep.

　　Most premature ovarian insufficiency is irreversible, but it has also been found to be reversible in a few patients. Therefore, patients do not need to be too desperate. Especially for patients who hope to have children, active treatment is still needed.
