Primary ovarian insufficiency
The harder it is to manage
the sooner care should begin.
Premature Menopause in your 30s and 40s is not easy to manage, but there is a way forward.
Autoimmune conditions can be a cause, but in most cases the cause is unknown.
Still, ’cause unknown’ does not mean there is no path forward.
Clinical case reports have described improvements in ovarian-function markers and the return of menstrual cycles after Korean Medicine care,
and fertility-related outcomes during care have also been reported.
So please don’t give up; consider starting appropriate Korean Medicine care early.
