It is not possible to provide a completely satisfactory definition of the premature menopause. Ideally the definition should be based on accurate epidemiological studies so that its timing could be stated, in years, as two standard deviations less than the (appropriate) population’s mean age at the final cessation of menstruation.

Premature menopause increases cardiovascular risk
Climacteric, 2009Premature menopause and bilateral oophorectomy in young women are associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction and overall mortality. Observational studies suggest an interval of 5-10 years between loss of ovarian function and the increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Bilateral oophorectomy and premature menopause
The American Journal of Medicine, 2005The ovary is a complex metabolic organ. The follicles produce both androgens and estrogens, whereas the stromal tissue synthesizes androgens only. When menopause occurs, both androgen and estrogen levels decrease. The postmenopausal ovary remains a source of endogenous androgens that are converted to estrogen.

This article describes the different etiologies and clinical aspects of precocious menopause as well as the investigations necessary to differentiate between a syndrome of resistant ovaries and pituitary tumors. Therapeutic aspects such as estrogen substitution and oocyte donation are discussed.

Premature menopause management.
Australian family physician, 1992Premature menopause is most commonly iatrogenic, but may be due to an autoimmune or other ovarian disorder, or it may be idiopathic. The diagnosis is established by a raised serum FSH. Fertility can only be reliably achieved using donor oocytes; otherwise oestrogen replacement therapy should be offered.

[Stress and premature menopause].
Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie III, Sciences de la vie, 1995By acting on the neuroendocrine system during the stress response, life events may greatly affect homeostasis and favor the appearance of disease. Here, we describe a relationship between stressful life events and premature ovarian failure. From a mechanistic point of view, we suggest an autoimmune origin for such premature ovarian failure on the basis
