Natural or artificial menopause occurring before age 35.
Premature menopause, defined as the cessation of ovulation and menstruation prior to the age of 40, can result from various factors. This includes disorders, treatments, or interventions that lead to the destruction or removal of the ovaries or the long-term disruption of ovarian functions. For instance, radiotherapy targeting the pelvic region can trigger such an outcome. To alleviate symptoms and minimize the risk of osteoporosis, hormone replacement therapy is an option. In situations where women aim to conceive, in vitro fertilization (IVF) utilizing donor eggs becomes a viable choice.
