Hipofunción ovárica - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Insuficiencia ovárica prematura

Tratamiento:

Con frecuencia, la terapia con estrógenos sirve para tratar los síntomas de la menopausia causados por la hipofunción ovárica y prevenir la pérdida ósea, pero no aumenta las posibilidades para que una mujer quede en embarazo. Menos del 10% de las mujeres con esta afección son capaces de concebir y las posibilidades de tener éxito aumentan a un 50 % con la implantación de un óvulo fecundado de un donante (óvulo de otra mujer).

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Consulte con el médico si ya no está teniendo períodos menstruales, si tiene síntomas de menopausia temprana o si está teniendo dificultades para quedar embarazada.
