If women had a rupee for every time they’ve prayed for their monthly painful period to go away, they’d be pretty darn rich. But have you ever thought what would happen to your body if one of its natural processes stops abruptly?
Premature menopause is a condition in which a woman stops menstruating completely before the age of 40 years. Sometimes this can occur as early as 30 years leading to various problems related to woman’s health and reproduction.
The ovaries have two functions – to produce eggs for fertility and to produce reproductive hormones. The ovaries are most active during the ages of 20-30 years.
Global statistics suggest that approximately 1-4 percent of women stop ovulating and menstruating before the age of 40 and have premature menopause.
