Is it hot here?

Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is related to health problems due to the low levels of estrogen. Some of these health issues are: low bone mineral density, infertility, mood disorders, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dry eye syndrome, as well as menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, decreased sexual desire, and vaginal dryness

The reason why POI occurs can be due to genetic disorders, secondary to chemotherapy, radiation or surgery, or it appears spontaneously (4). The most common cause of premature or early menopause is the surgery where the ovaries are removed
