Abstract

Premature ovarian failure (POF) occurs in women under the age of 40 years with primary or secondary hypergonadotropic amenorrhea and is accompanied by oestrogen deficiency in 75 % of cases. None of the women with primary amenorrhea have been reported to ovulate or conceive with their own oocytes, but more than a third of the women were pregnant at least once before developing hypergonadotropic POF.
