Medical Conditions - Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

Primary ovarian insufficiency, or premature ovarian failure, is a condition that occurs when a woman's ovaries stop functioning (before menopause). As a result, their hormone levels (such as estrogen levels) are low, and their ovaries do not release eggs regularly, often leading to infertility. Such women may have occasional or irregular periods and can get pregnant.
