Sonographic Predictors Of Pelvic Organs In Women With Premature Ovarian Failure

Abstract

Premature menopause is a pathological condition characterized by the cessation of the functional activity of the ovaries in women under the age of 40 and manifested by amenorrhea, high levels of gonadotropins in the blood, infertility and symptoms of estrogen deficiency. POF occurs on average in 1% of women. The exact nature of the disease remains unknown. The basis of this pathology, regardless of the etiological factor, is a decrease in the reserve of primordial follicles, which is unusual for this age period, up to its complete depletion and the formation of the afollicular type of POF. This condition is described as a "multifactorial syndrome" due to chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders, fermentopathies, infectious and iatrogenic factors.
