Hipofunción ovárica - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Insuficiencia ovárica prematura

Síntomas:

Las mujeres que presentan disminución en la función ovárica pueden desarrollar síntomas de menopausia, como sofoco, cambios en el estado de ánimo, sudores nocturnos y resequedad vaginal. La hipofunción ovárica también puede causar dificultad para quedar en embarazo.

Signos y exámenes:

Se llevará a cabo un examen de sangre para verificar el nivel de la hormona foliculoestimulante (FSH). Los niveles de esta hormona son más altos de lo normal en las mujeres con hipofunción ovárica.

Se pueden realizar otros exámenes de sangre para buscar trastornos autoinmunitarios o enfermedad de la tiroides.

Las mujeres con hipofunción ovárica que deseen quedar embarazadas pueden estar particularmente preocupadas acerca de su capacidad para concebir. Las mujeres menores de 30 años pueden someterse a un análisis cromosómico para buscar anomalías, mientras que las mujeres mayores que se acercan a la menopausia normalmente no necesitan este examen.
