Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), also known as premature ovarian insufficiency or premature menopause, is a condition where a woman's ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40, leading to irregular menstrual periods and menopause-like symptoms due to decreased estrogen production. It affects approximately 1 in 100 women under age 40 and is diagnosed through a combination of amenorrhea, hypergonadotropism, and hypoestrogenism.
