Premature Ovarian Failure

What is primary ovarian insufficiency (POI)?

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) happens when your ovaries stop working normally before you are 40.

As you get older, fertility naturally decreases. This usually starts around age 40 or later. Menstrual periods may also become irregular as you transition to menopause. If you have POI, these changes happen earlier, before age 40. Sometimes POI can start as early as the teenage years.
