Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Premature ovarian insufficiency occurs when the ovaries stop functioning normally before the expected age, reducing hormone production and ovarian activity. It does not always imply a total loss of function.
Usual signs: irregular or absent periods, hot flashes, night sweats, dryness, and changes in mood or sleep.
Why consult: in addition to the impact on the cycle and fertility, the hormonal imbalance can affect other aspects of health, which is why it is worth studying.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist evaluates the reproductive and hormonal health associated with premature ovarian insufficiency, with support from the laboratory for the necessary tests. If you notice these changes, discussing it with a professional allows you to understand what is happening and how to support you.
