The condition of ovarian exhaustion syndrome is pathological for women. It is typical for 2% of women. The syndrome is characterized by the end of menstruation, but before the time for most women. More details about the syndrome itself, its symptoms, treatment and the ability to tolerate a child, we will discuss in this article.
Signs of ovarian malnutrition
The main symptom of ovarian malnutrition is the cessation of menstruation for more than 12 months in women younger than 45 years. If menopause occurs at the age of 40 - 45 years, it is called a premature ovarian depletion syndrome, an early condition is considered if the menstruation in a woman has stopped at the age of 40.
The period of termination of menstruation in women is accompanied by hot flashes and cold, increased sweating, headaches, decreased efficiency, sleep disturbance and irritability.
However, based on the cessation of menstruation and additional symptoms, it is impossible to finally diagnose ovarian malnutrition. Exact data can only give a hormonal analysis. The syndrome is confirmed if the body's condition corresponds to the climacteric.
In the syndrome of ovarian malnutrition in a woman for several years, the uterus and mammary glands, which will no longer perform their functions, gradually decrease in size.
Causes of onset of ovarian malnutrition
The main causes of ovarian malnutrition in women are autoimmune disorders and chromosomal abnormalities. In the first case, the body produces antibodies to certain cells of the reproductive organs, in the second, in the genomic set is a chromosome with a defect.
Also, premature exhaustion can cause surgical interventions or methods used in the treatment of cancer.
Treatment of ovarian depletion syndrome
The main and most effective method of treating the syndrome is hormone replacement therapy. In addition, physiotherapeutic procedures, the intake of vitamins and the correction of possible pathologies, aimed at improving the general state of the body, can be used.
Ovarian exhaustion and pregnancy
In the stage of extinction of ovarian function, about a quarter of women still have viable eggs and, under favorable conditions, can become pregnant.
In most cases, the only way to endure a child for women with this syndrome is artificial insemination and the donor egg.
