Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Chen Zhe
Hormone therapy for premature ovarian failure has side effects. Hormones can cause certain adverse effects in cases of premature ovarian failure, such as breast tenderness, ovarian stimulation leading to irregular bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and cyclical menstruation. If concerned, regular hospital check-ups are recommended, with adjustments to hormone dosage as needed. Under the influence of estrogen, the breasts may also develop abnormalities; therefore, regular breast ultrasound examinations should be performed, along with pelvic ultrasound monitoring.
