Premature Ovarian Failure
WHAT IS PREMATURE OVARIAN FAILURE
Premature Ovarian Failure (POF), also known as Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), is a condition where the ovaries stop functioning normally before the age of 40. This leads to reduced estrogen levels and irregular or absent ovulation, making natural conception difficult.
At Freya Fertility, we offer advanced diagnostic and treatment options to help women with POF explore their chances of pregnancy and fertility preservation.
POF is commonly seen in patients who:
- Experience missed or irregular periods before age 40
- Have very low AMH levels
- Have genetic or autoimmune conditions
- Have undergone chemotherapy or radiation
- Have unexplained early ovarian decline
WHAT IS POF (PRIMARY OVARIAN INSUFFICIENCY)?
POF is not complete menopause but a condition where ovarian function is reduced or unpredictable. Some women may still have occasional ovulation, but fertility is significantly affected.
