Premature ovarian failure generally cannot be completely cured, but symptoms can be alleviated and disease progression delayed through treatment. Premature ovarian failure is an irreversible condition primarily caused by the decline of ovarian function to its final stage, at which point the ovaries can no longer resume normal function. With timely medical intervention and appropriate lifestyle adjustments, patients can improve their quality of life to some extent. Treatment methods include hormone replacement therapy, immunotherapy, surgical treatment, ovulation induction therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Among these, hormone replacement therapy is the most common approach, involving the supplementation of estrogen and progesterone to relieve symptoms such as genitourinary atrophy, osteoporosis, and mood depression. Immunotherapy, surgical treatment, and ovulation induction therapy are selected based on specific causes and disease conditions.
