In Premature Ovarian Failure, the follicles are depleted and the patient cannot conceive naturally.
A woman’s ovaries lose their normal function before the age of 40. The ovaries will no longer produce normal levels of hormones and will not ovulate regularly, so the patient is no longer fertile. Premature ovarian failure is the final stage of ovarian failure.
There are many causes of premature ovarian failure, and common causes include genetic, medical, immunologic, and environmental factors. Unfortunately, ovarian function cannot be reversed and there is no effective way to restore ovarian function.
Patients with premature ovarian failure who wish to conceive need to be assisted by an assisted reproductive medicine doctor.
