Premature ovarian failure is the term usually used to describe women aged younger than 40 years who present with amenorrhea, hypergonadotropinism, and hypoestrogenism. Such women may ovulate and even conceive after the diagnosis is made, so it may be more appropriate to refer to these patients as having "primary ovarian insufficiency," or alternatively,

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997
The past 2 years have seen progress in our understanding of the process of premature ovarian failure with identification of molecular causes and clarification of the autoimmune targets within the ovary. With the knowledge that most women with premature ovarian failure have ovarian follicles on ultrasonography, we eagerly await the next therapeutic ...

Autoimmune Premature Ovarian Failure
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1995AbstractPremature ovarian failure (POF) may be caused by a variety of factors that result in the depletion of responsive ovarian follicles. There is a increasing body of evidence that suggests an autoimmune etiology in some POF patients. Data in support of an autoimmune etiology include: (1) lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltration of the ovary and ...

Familial Premature Ovarian Failure
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1985Premature menopause, ovarian failure younger than 40 years of age, is relatively rare but may preclude childbearing for some women who delay attempts at fertility. We present five kindreds in which a genetic association for premature ovarian failure is strongly suggested.

Pregnancies After Premature Ovarian Failure
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1986Six women who conceived after a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure are discussed. Two pregnancies occurred while the women were receiving conjugated estrogen therapy, two while taking oral contraceptives, and two women conceived spontaneously. The possible role of exogenous estrogens in sensitizing the granulosa cells to the effect of follicle ...

Maturitas, 1996
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is common, affecting approximately 1% of women. It is defined as gonadal failure before the age of 40 and patients may clinically present with either primary or secondary amenorrhoea. This review concentrates on the clinical aspects of POF, with sequential discussion on the aetiology and epidemiology, clinical ...

The report by Check et al. adds to accumulating evidence that premature ovarian failure is not always a final state of complete follicular depletion. They suggest that use of an oral contraceptive caused remission of ovarian failure by reversing «down-regulation' of FSH and LH receptors on the granulosa-theca cells», a down-regulation that had been ...

Aetiology of premature ovarian failure
Menopause International, 2009Premature ovarian failure (POF) is the occurrence of hypergonadotropic hypoestrogenic amenorrhoea in women under the age of 40 years. POF is idiopathic in 74–90% of cases but can be familial (4–33%) or sporadic. The known causes are: genetic aberrations; autoimmune ovarian damage; iatrogenic following surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy ...

Casopis lekaru ceskych, 2019
Premature ovarian failure is a heterogeneous disease that brings about several health risks. We must consider that the use of contraception in adolescent girls can mask this disease for a long time. Assisted reproductive technology has brought hope to women with premature ovarian failure to have their own child.
