In the gynecological clinic, I often encounter patients who come to see the doctor because of "low menstruation":

Did you find that your menstrual volume is reduced and it is premature ovarian failure?
In fact, most menstrual volumes of are not caused by premature ovarian failure.
Because of premature ovaries, in addition to the decrease in menstruation, other functions are also "cliff jumping" declines:

② Estrogen abnormality: often sweats when you move, and your emotions become unstable. (irritable) , often insomnia, vaginal dryness and pain, and the "sexual" blessing index plummeted.
③ Infertility : Women of appropriate age have been preparing for pregnancy for a long time. It may be due to the decline in fertility caused by premature ovarian failure.

1. Will the decrease in menstruation affect pregnancy?
Doctor's answer: is possible.
If the menstrual period is reduced due to the disease, it may affect pregnancy, but physiologically it will not. Occasionally, you have significantly less menstruation, so don’t worry too much.
