This is one condition where the ovaries stop functioning Prematurely(by definition before the age of
40 years).Not a very rare condition and I have come across such patients in past as well.But yesterday I could feel how traumatic it must be.A dear friend who married late was diagnosed with POF.She didn't express as much grief as she is a fighter but I was horrified.She is yet to start her family.
Of course for her or anybody who hasn't completed ones family the option is ovum donation and assisted reproduction.But that is not the only issue.It means an early menopause with all it's manifestations like hot flushes,brittle bone disease(osteoporosis and of course an emotional trauma).A person with POFmight need Hormone replacment therapy( not widely recommended though due to associated side effects),calcium supplementation and exercise.

Interactive blog
I always wished it to be an interactive blog.I would be happy if my patients who are visiting my blog have questions to ask or ideas to share which can be used by others facing similar situation as yours.I know many of you do visit the blog and it would be lot more fun if we could chat outside the confines of my OPD where actually at times I might not be able to give personalised answer to all your queries.
