妙龄女子分娩半年后变老太太

A woman suffering from a premature aging disorder is desperate for a cure, today's Zhengzhou Evening News reported.

一个患有早衰症的女人渴望获得治疗，今天《郑州晚报》报道。

The 28-year-old woman surnamed Hu had a happy marriage at age 21 and gave birth to a healthy boy in 2007. Then she felt her face sag and six months later, she looked like an old lady with a wrinkled face.

这位28岁的胡姓女子21岁有一个幸福的婚姻，在2007年生了一个健康的男孩。之后她觉得她脸部皮肤松弛，六个月后她就像一个满脸皱纹的老太太。

Dr Yin Guangping of Zhengzhou University No. 1 Hospital said her progeria syndrome is very rare. Only a dozen such cases were reported worldwide in 2010 and the cause of this disease is still unknown. Doctors have no cure except plastic surgery to remove her wrinkles.

郑州大学第一医院的尹广平医生说她的早衰症是非常罕见的。2010年在世界范围内只有十几个这样的病例报道，造成这种疾病的原因仍然未知。除了整形手术移除她的皱纹外医生没有治愈的方法。

Ashamed to go outside, Hu has consulted many doctors but none was able to treat her disease. The Zhengzhou Evening News and Hunan Television have offered to help her advertise for a cure.

羞于外出，小胡已经咨询了很多医生，但无一能治疗她的疾病。《郑州晚报》和湖南电视台已经提出要帮她征求治愈方法。

"I never expected to become an old lady in just a couple of years," Hu said.

“我从没想过在短短几年会成为一个老太太，”小胡表示。

She is not alone in China. Four years ago, a 21-year-old woman surnamed Zhu also developed the same symptom. Failing to find effective treatment, she underwent a plastic surgery.

她不是中国唯一的病例。四年前，一个21岁的朱姓女孩也出现了同样的症状。没有找到有效的治疗，她接受了整形手术。
