Cooper Springer, ٠٩/٠٢/٢٠١٦ - 207 من الصفحات Presenting the most current and relevant information on the diagnosis and management of primary ovarian insufficiency, also known as premature ovarian failure (POI/POF), this book presents two equally important [books.google.com]
Presentation The most common presentations are primary or secondary amenorrhoea [ 2 ]. However, abnormal bleeding patterns also include oligomenorrhoea. [patient.info]
This review presents the effects of different chemotherapeutic drugs on gonadal function together with an overview of currently valid recommendations on fertility preservation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report an unusual presentation of xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the genital tract in a young female presenting with premature ovarian failure. [link.springer.com]
The clinical presentation of POI can be variable, but the most common presenting symptom is menstrual disturbance, particularly oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea. [racgp.org.au]

Workup

Treatment
In the months that I was receiving treatment at the oncology centre, I met several women in their 30s and 40s and even one woman in her 20s who were menopausal as a result of their chemotherapy treatment. [mysecondspring.ie]
Women who have POI as well as one of these associated conditions will require additional treatment for the associated condition. In some cases, treatment involves medication or hormone therapy. Other types of treatments might also be needed. [rxlist.com]
Doctors may also try a variety of fertility treatments such as: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) Estradiol and corticosteroids (such as prednisone) Clomid (Clomiphene citrate) Human menopausal gondotropins (hMG) Danazol None of these treatments have [americanpregnancy.org]
Oestrogen treatment may increase the ovulation rate in some women. Oocyte donation is the most common option for fertility treatment in these patients. [gponline.com]
However, because there is no treatment proven safe and effective to restore fertility ovarian biopsy is NOT performed routinely. 8) Cancer treatment including chemotherapy and radiation can cause POF. [inviafertility.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Prognosis is poor, with malignancy as the major cause of death. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
Section 4: Prognosis POI is associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis. This has been associated with the presence, degree and duration of estrogen deficiency. [gponline.com]
Prognosis Sex steroid replacement for women with POI up to the normal age of natural menopause will not only improve symptoms but also reduce the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. [patient.info]
Prognosis Women with spontaneous POI/POF have a low but real chance of spontaneous pregnancy. Approximately 5-10% become pregnant subsequent to the diagnosis of POI/POF. HT does not prevent such pregnancies. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
The first is the scientific, evidence-based voice discussing the latest information on POI/POF in a concise and logical fashion: etiologies, symptoms, genetics, mechanisms, associated conditions, as well as psychological and lifestyle considerations. [books.google.com]
Etiology NBS is caused by mutations in the NBN gene (8q21-q24) which lead to partially functional truncated fragments of nibrin, the gene product involved in repairing DNA double strand breaks. [orpha.net]
Regardless of the etiology, patients with primary ovarian insufficiency are estrogen deficient. [acog.org]
The prognosis for women with secondary ovarian insufficiency depends on the etiology of the disorder (see Amenorrhea ). Patient Education Women with POI/POF should be educated on the nature of their disease and the current research efforts. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology Prevalence and incidence are not known. 150 patients have been reported in the literature but many more are recorded in patient registries. [orpha.net]
Section 1: Epidemiology and aetiology Section 2: Making the diagnosis Section 3: Managing the condition Section 4: Prognosis Section 5: Case study Section 6: Further resources Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) occurs in women aged under 40 years and [gponline.com]
Epidemiology At least 1% of women under the age of 40 are affected. [patient.info]

It also avoids the first-pass effect in the liver. [34] Epidemiology [ edit ] It has been estimated that POF affects 1% of the female population. [35] History [ edit ] Fuller Albright et al. in 1942 first reported a syndrome in young women characterized [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention
What can you do to prevent and treat it? Host Dawn Davenport, Exec. Director of Creating a Family, the national infertility & adoption education and support organization, will interview Dr. [blogtalkradio.com]
Doctors usually prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements to prevent bone loss, which can happen when estrogen levels drop. [webmd.com]
Increasing calcium intake and doing weight-bearing exercises on a regular basis help to prevent osteoporosis, as women with POF are at an increased risk for both osteoporosis and heart disease. [stirrup-queens.com]
