Ovarian failure, also known as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), refers to the loss of normal ovarian function before the age of 40. When it occurs in a woman's 20s, it can lead to early onset menopause. Premature ovarian failure can have significant physical, emotional, and psychological effects, with symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. Causes can include genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases, infections, and treatments like chemotherapy. Managing ovarian failure and early menopause often requires medical intervention and emotional support. Hormone replacement therapy and fertility preservation techniques may be options. Seeking advice from healthcare professionals specializing in reproductive health is crucial for managing this condition effectively.
