How common is it to have premature ovarian failure?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Not too common: Premature ovarian failure is not too common. Drug exposure, radiation, inflammatory diseases are some causes of POF. At 57, natural ovarian failure, or menopause, is extremely common.
