Protecting Your Ovaries

Is All About Maintaining Your Health

Ovarian function is fundamental for women having a new baby and is where women get their beauty from. It is the ovaries that secrete estrogen as girls go through puberty, allowing them to develop into women. Estrogen secretion decreases after the age of 35, gradually affecting a woman’s skin quality, complexion, their figure, hormonal balance, and sexual function. Women affected by premature ovarian failure, not only endure longer menopause and greater risk of disease, but also age more rapidly. Protecting your ovaries, is not only for reproduction, but is all about maintaining your health.

Who needs an ovarian function monitoring?

Regular ovarian function monitoring is required for women who satisfy any of the following:

• Menstrual cycle less than 25 days

• Experienced more than one induced abortion

• Reduced menstrual cycle or menstrual volume within the past year

• Long-term irregular periods or dysmenorrhea

• Aged 35 or above and planning pregnancy

• Tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for at least six months

• With a history of cancer treatment or ovarian, cervical, or fallopian tube surgery

Do women who are not married require ovarian function monitoring?

Apart from hereditary and environmental factors, causes of ovarian failure include staying up late long-term, excessive dieting, too much work-related stress, smoking, and drinking alcohol, and in some cases may lead to infertility. Regular ovarian function monitoring for women who are not married can be used for early discovery and prevention of premature ovarian failure and personalized family planning.

Is ovarian failure reversible?

Premature ovarian failure is irreversible and currently can only be controlled or slowed down with drugs. Female reproductive function can be protected by monitoring as early as possible to determine ovarian reserve function and enhanced lifestyle. In some serious cases, surgery is required for treatment. Early treatment is the best means of preventing premature ovarian failure.
