Premature ovarian failure (POF), also known as primary ovarian insufficiency, is a condition characterized by loss of normal function of the ovaries before age 40. The ovaries stop producing normal levels of the hormone estrogen, which causes symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, and menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.
Some key facts about POF:
Women with POF need close monitoring as they are at higher risk for issues like osteoporosis, heart disease, depression, and other problems related to estrogen deficiency. Support from an endocrinologist and gynecologist is very important.
