Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)
Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a disease that, although it does not have a high prevalence, creates many challenges for affected women and affects most aspects of their lives. In addition to the problems it causes in a person's health (such as heart, bone, and mental problems), this failure also causes certain family problems, such as deciding on the type of childbearing (adoptive child, pregnancy with donated eggs, or childlessness).
The duty of health care providers regarding patients with premature ovarian failure is to provide the necessary training to these women and their families so that in addition to treating infertility, they can treat other symptoms and complications of this disorder in order to have a healthy life. For this purpose, the Premature Ovarian Failure Working Group (POF) was formed and started its activity at Royan Institute in 2017.
During these years, by holding about 70 meetings and with the participation of clinical and basic science experts such as gynecology, endocrinology, genetics, embryology, psychology, and immunology specialists, in addition to reviewing studies in the field of POF, this working group has examined more than 20 research projects in Royan Institute. Among other activities of this working group, is possible to mention the preparation of electronic questionnaires for POF patients, printing of POF specialized books, holding POF symposiums, and holding meetings with POF patients.
