Also called as early menopause— occurs when the ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40. When this happens, your
ovaries don’t produce normal amounts of the hormone estrogen or release eggs regularly. This condition often leads to
infertility.

Primary ovarian insufficiency is sometimes confused with premature menopause, but these conditions aren’t the same.
Women with primary ovarian insufficiency can have irregular or occasional periods for years and might even get pregnant. But women with premature menopause stop having periods and can’t become pregnant.

Restoring estrogen levels in women with primary ovarian insufficiency helps prevent some complications that occur as a result of low estrogen, such as osteoporosis.
