Premature Ovarian Failure

Premature Ovarian Failure

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is usually defined as menopause under the age of 40 and occurs in about 1% of women. Before periods totally cease there is often a length of time when periods are irregular or when the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is raised to around 15 to 20 IU.
