Ovarian failure, also known as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), refers to the loss of normal ovarian function before the age of 40. When it occurs in a woman's 20s, it can lead to early onset menopause. Premature ovarian failure can have significant physical, emotional, and psychological effects, with symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. Causes can include genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases, infections, and treatments like chemotherapy. Managing ovarian failure and early menopause often requires medical intervention and emotional support. Hormone replacement therapy and fertility preservation techniques may be options. Seeking advice from healthcare professionals specializing in reproductive health is crucial for managing this condition effectively.

I went through menopause at 26. It took 2 years of suffering through symptoms before my doctor would even refer me to an endocrinologist. So many appointments ended with me asking if it could be menopause and being told I was just too young. One appointment with a specialist confirmed what I had known. That was 17 years ago.

So. Wow! I'm 47. I had a hysterectomy at 28. I've learned more from this 2 hour show than I've learned from ANY doctor I've seen. It is extremely difficult to "educate" yourself on this topic because there is So little information out there on Young post menopausal women. I've not ever been given any options on estrogen. Pills or nothing. Which were too strong and gave me headaches. No doctor has mentioned bone density, cholesterol... nothing.

@buracarolina5462 Год назад

The fact that most ppl asked her mainly about the reproductive facet of her condition just goes to show that we still see women as primarily incubators and generally the attitude of " omg you cant have babiesss,how tragic 😭😭😭" - as if there is nothing more to life than that.. I dont wanna speculate on her feelings but i would assume based on the way she speaks about processing her diagnosis that she did have that kind of discourse in her mind- if you tell someone something often enough they will believe it! Women, we are more than just baby factories, remember that!

@tayr3836 Год назад

I see your point however I don’t think it comes from a bad place. It’s just that is tragic for many women to not be able to have kids. Even if you don’t want to have kids, I imagine something like that happening to you especially at that young of an age might make you double think. It’s like when it’s your choice it’s one thing, but once the option is taken from you it can cause different feelings. I don’t think people are thinking of her as an incubator. It’s just a natural response.

@kelb6073 Год назад

I have stage 4 endometriosis. Its absolutely disgusting how the medical world treats women and endometriosis and pelvic issues. Disgusting. I have been dealing with this shit for over a year. The only way to disgnose is a lap. Birth control does not stop it from growing. I also did two transfers in IVF. Both failed. Also, endometriosis is not backflow. Its a problem at the cellular level. Recent research shows it may involve the stem cells, but a lot more research os needed. There is also another kind of a tissue called endosal that is similar and barely anything os known about it and is a bit rare, but i have that as well... It is a lonely, lonely thing to deal with. Especially when you're someone who did want a family. And yes, adoption is there, but its a completely different avenue. Frankly, its disrespectful to adoptees to think adoption is the same thing. It requires a lot of understanding about trauma. It is also expensive, long and also doesn't always work out. The medical world is way behind with this.

I myself have been struggling with adenomyosis for over a decade, and it can be so difficult and frustrating trying to explain to someone without endometriosis or similar diagnosis how much it affects your life. My body also can’t tolerate estrogen birth control, and I was placed on Orilissa at 19. Going through medical menopause at 19 was extremely traumatic, but I’m very grateful it hasn’t affected my fertility (at least that I’m aware). I’m now almost 24 with no children, trying every route possible to get a hysterectomy in order to know a life without a 3 week long hormonal nightmare. I have felt so alone in my journey with my body for SO long, and sure we may not have the same story it still is comforting to know that I don’t struggle alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

yeah, i had an iud put in like 6 months ago for heavy and super painful periods, and my mom has endometriosis so i have a family history. it’s a really scary world to navigate, reproductive health. ive tried to do as much of my own research as i can find for what works for me, and im pretty satisfied with the BC i’m on so far. im so fortunate to not want biological kids for the entire foreseeable future, i feel like i’d be much more apprehensive because of how potentially dangerous all of it is. my mom had a hysterectomy because of her endometriosis, im so glad people are being vocal about their struggles with these conditions ! (edit: watched more of the video) my mom has lupus, which is an often overlooked immune disease as it’s symptoms can normally be attributed to other things that could go on in the body. lupus can absolutely cause gynecological issues like endometriosis and primary ovarian failure, so (not to scare or fearmonger but) id make sure to pay attention at that rheumatologist appointment and clarify more what those levels are and what it could mean. it absolutely could still be a perfect storm but if there are solid answers to find they may be worth searching for, for closure and symptom management.

@amfq Год назад

only after finishing the video and hearing about the elevated autoimmune levels did i really draw all the parallels but my mom was pretty young and they told her she likely wouldn’t have kids if she didn’t have them nearly immediately. she was fortunate in that she proceeded to have three over 7 years before she finally got her uterus removed. that, plus her long history of endometriosis and scar tissue struggles. i wish i could give Hanna the advice or words of encouragement/understanding that my mother could but all i can say really is rule out autoimmune disorders with a specialist.

I've had several years of intense period pains since puberty and I started asking doctors for tests when I was around 21 when my cycle started changing drastically. No one wanted to talk about it with me. At 28 I had an unplanned pregnancy, full mental breakdown because kids are not what I want in life due to parental trauma and many other valid reasons. After the termination I started pressing much harder for doctors to investigate. 3 doctors later, one finally agreed to give me what I wanted; which was a permanent solution for my pain and not wanting my fertility. I'm now 30 and have recently fully healed from a total abdominal hysterectomy, keeping my ovaries. Turns out after my uterus was yanked out that the labs determined it was a perfectly healthy organ, which is frustrating considering the years of agony and heavy bleeding I had. Now I can live my life for me, in better health both physically and mentally. No matter what your reproductive journey is, I strongly believe that choice is extremely important.

i have a lot of similar problems, not the same exactly but similar. theyve been lifelong, SEVERE period pain, inability to have kids, dysfunctional organs and abnormal anatomy being the icing on the cake which means unless its an EMERGENCY i either need to find a suuper specialist who would have to believe they understand my anatomy and are capable enough to perform a surgery. so i persist with severe period pain. shaking throwing up puking etc every month for over half my life now. im about to be 24 and ive genuinely been considering looking into inducing menopause and if it would be worth it since i already cant have kids and plan to adopt, so this was a very important episode for me to listen to and find at this stage of my life. glad youre doing better and figured everything out!! ❤

My mother went through menopause at 45 without knowing. No symptoms whatsoever, and since she had an IUD, it was normal to not have a period. Everyone was shocked specially her doctor since her exams were perfect 6 months before.

Same with my mum (minus iud).

I really enjoyed this guest. She is clearly very smart and knows how to speak to make everything understandable to the audience.

I am the only female I know of with a menstural cycle that isn't super painful. The only time I experienced symptoms was when i😢 wss taking birth control pill. Gained 2 stone in weight, no sexual appetite, crazy moods and bleeding very randomly smd heavy on a frequent basis. Since then i am a lot better. I had it very easy compared to some of my friends!

I get slight cramping the day before my period or the first day but other than that I’m just bleeding and taking extra hygiene steps for a few days. But I also had terrible periods on BC.

@mariperez6526 Год назад

Me and you both sis my period always lasted 3 days and it was supper light and no pain. Didnt have cramps until i had my first child but it was mild

@selenam1805 Год назад

Mine is mild in that I only have moderately bad cramps and heavy bleeding for a day then the rest of the days it's manageable. You're super lucky yours isn't painful at all.

@ChaiLatte13 Год назад

I've always had normal periods with minimal issues. I have more issues midcycle with pain in my ovaries.

@dayanaagonzalezz Год назад

mine isn’t painful at all lol it’s wierd but im thankful 😂😂, no pain at all but still a lot of mood swings

@cheriec8012 11 месяцев назад

I also go through extreme cramping and bleeding, I had the laparoscopic surgery. They found nothing but a small fibroid that they said likely wasn’t causing my pain. I’m at a loss, and I don’t think I’ll ever get an answer or solution.

I wonder if she would be comfortable updating us after that appointment!

@ageofgrifter 10 месяцев назад

She is too nice about those doctors who don’t listen to her.

What an amazing and informative interview. What a remarkable young lady.

I'm most annoyed by the friends and family telling her to "have faith". Faith will not help someone who's ovaries are withering away. These platitudes, this idea that a serious medical issue may somehow be fixed by enough believing (and if you're still afflicted it's because you didn't believe hard enough), it's downright cruel and insensitive. Does the outcome have to be her having bio kids, or kids at all? I would want someone to listen and actually empathise. I personally would be upset if I found out my ovaries had stopped functioning and I don't even want children. That's a part of my body that's not working properly, that's scary. Early menopause is scary. Healthy hormone balance is really important for mental health and bone strength. Estrogen is a source of vitality for women the same way testosterone is vitality for men. I've seen it with my trans girlfriend who quickly loses energy and becomes depressed if she misses her estrogen shots. I would join her in the ranks of women who require HRT to be healthy. It's a big deal.

@martynaaaaaaajl Год назад

situations like these also just go to show why HRT is necessary - it is HEALTHCARE! regardless of what its used for!

@moshroomba Год назад

damn i just found you today and im really happy im early! also this topic is very interesting as some get periods in toddler years and others end way early and all in all, all bodies are very different

@denisadvorska5976 Год назад

As toddler? Did it stop at some point for next few years or it continued well til your teenage years when most young women get it?

@kelseyrk9368 Год назад

I would love to know if the friend who had chemo and later conceived naturally had radiation to her pelvis? That is my situation and they tell me I will never be able to be pregnant.

@swedishfish5622 Год назад

Hey Dev. I love you and I hope you’re doing well 💖💕

@luthientinuviel9942 10 месяцев назад

Maybe it's because I've never wanted children of my own (I do have a stepchild now), but I feel so sad for Hannah that people were more worried about her ovaries not working than how she was feeling in the midst of all that chaos, or the other bothersome/negative things about her current health situation. I'm glad she knows she is more valuable than a couple of hunks of reproductive tissues.
