Woman, 28, looks like granny after childbirth

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
