Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: Procreative Management and Preventive Strategies

Jennifer J Chae-Kim et al. Biomedicines. .

Abstract

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is the loss of normal hormonal and reproductive function of ovaries in women before age 40 as the result of premature depletion of oocytes. The incidence of POI increases with age in reproductive-aged women, and it is highest in women by the age of 40 years. Reproductive function and the ability to have children is a defining factor in quality of life for many women. There are several methods of fertility preservation available to women with POI. Procreative management and preventive strategies for women with or at risk for POI are reviewed.

Keywords: donor oocyte; fertility preservation; in vitro fertilization; premature ovarian insufficiency.
