Question 1

i am diagnosed  with premature ovarian failure. from january to april i had my cycle once. from april to july no cycle.  i have heavy cycle  on july?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian failure: If you've had sparse periods and your ovaries quit functioning, then, there is a good chance that you will not have heavy bleeding because they don't function in cycles like they would if they were up and running.

Question 2

whats premature ovarian failure?

Accepted Answer

"Menopause": When the ovaries fail in a woman of early reproductive age(16-40) menopause is the result.(absence of menstruation).

Question 3

what is premature ovarian failure?

Accepted Answer

"Menopause" under 40: When ovarian function has temporarily or permanently ceased before the age of 40, that is the definition of premature ovarian failure. Since it may actually be temporary, and not permanent failure, some experts now call it premature ovarian "insufficiency".  If you or someone you know has it, be sure to see a board certified re for proper treatment.

Question 4

is premature ovarian failure irreversible?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: A percentage of women with premature ovarian failure see a reversal of it.  It's not predictable who may or may not see a reversal.

Question 5

what are tests for premature ovarian failure?

Accepted Answer

FSH: Follicle stimulating hormone blood test elevation in the absence of other causes.

Question 6

how young can premature ovarian failure occur?

Accepted Answer

Any age: It can happen at any age after puberty.  It is not common though.  And sometimes premature ovarian failure is temporary and the normal function may return.

Question 7

do i get cyckes with premature ovarian failure?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: You might have a period here and there but you are essentially going through menopause

Question 8

what are the symptoms of premature ovarian failure?

Accepted Answer

See below: Most symptoms are associated with low estrogen, including irregular period, or no period, mood swing, hot flush, sleeping problem, vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, decreased sexual desires,  and infertility.

Question 9

how common is it to have premature ovarian failure?

Accepted Answer

1%: 1 out of 100 women have premature ovarian failure, or shutting down of the ovaries before age 40. Many other women have a very early menopause in their early 40's, which really is not normal, even though that is technically not premature ovarian failure. Some women (5%) can later recover some function of their ovaries.

Question 10

can premature ovarian failure disallow you to have kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes: True ovarian failure means the ovaries no longer produce follicle or eggs and that means without donor eggs, pregnancy won't happen. I have seen ovaries start egg production again, especially when chemo or other drugs made them stop prematurely.
