Premature Menopause is defined as premature ovarian failure before the age of 40 years[1,2] or ovarian failure occurring two standard deviations in years before the mean menopausal age of the study population.[1–3] The first definition is the most commonly accepted definition of premature menopause.[2] It is marked by amenorrhea, increased gonadotrophin levels and oestrogen deficiency. Premature menopause can be spontaneous or induced. Induced premature menopause could be as a result of medical interventions such as chemotherapy or surgical interventions such as bilateral oophorectomy. Regardless of cause, women who experience oestrogen deficiency at an early age before the natural menopause are now recognized to be at increased risk for premature morbidity and mortality.[4]
