Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: Management from a Primary Care perspective

Neelima Ramireddy, Fathima Shezoon Mohideen.

Abstract
Premature ovarian Insufficiency is loss of ovarian activity occurring in women under 40 years of age. It is frequently under-diagnosed and poorly managed, with many health professionals unaware of the condition. Timely diagnosis with a clear understanding of the various comorbidities that can arise due to estrogen-deficiency and its effect on emotional health, fertility, sexual function, bone health and cardiovascular health is vital to appropriately counsel and treat these patients. Prompt initiation of hormone therapy is critical to control the menopausal symptoms that many women experience and to prevent long-term health complications. Primary health care physicians play a vital role in the identification, diagnosis, referral and long-term management of such patients. This review narrates the care of patients with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency in Primary care.

Key words: Premature Ovarian Insufficiency, Premature ovarian failure, Hormone replacement therapy
