In this gynaecology series, we explore Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI): causes, clinical features, investigations, and management.

🧬 Understand the pathophysiology – early depletion or dysfunction of ovarian follicles before age 40.
⚠️ Explore causes – genetic factors, autoimmune disorders, chemotherapy, radiation, or idiopathic.
📉 Recognize key symptoms – irregular or absent periods, hot flashes, night sweats, infertility, and vaginal dryness.
🧪 Learn about investigations – low estrogen, elevated FSH on two occasions, and ruling out other causes of amenorrhoea.
💊 Review management – hormone replacement therapy (HRT), fertility counseling, bone health support, and psychosocial care.
🧠 Discuss long-term implications – osteoporosis, cardiovascular risks, and emotional wellbeing.

Perfect for medical students, clinicians, and those looking to understand the clinical and emotional aspects of POI. 🎙️
