8. Clinical Definitions
• Abnormal Menses: a history of at least 3
consecutive months of oligomenorrhea or
abnormal uterine bleeding.
• Evidence of Reduced Fecundity: the development
of fewer than 5 follicles (>15 mm) after
appropriate gonadotropin stimulation (300 IU/day)
or no pregnancy after one year of unprotected
intercourse.
• Elevated FSH: above the normal limit (95% CI)
for the early follicular phase (days 2 to 5) as
defined by the assay employed.

20. T – SCORES vs Z-SCORES
The Z-score compares bone
mass density with that of
someone of similar age, sex,
weight and ethnic/racial origin.
So a Z-score of -0.5 indicates
a bone density one-half of a
standard deviation less than
the norm.
21. PREMATURE OVARIAN FAILURE
Peak bone mass reaches
its maximum between ages
20 to 29 years
Up to 60% of adult total
bone mineral is acquired
during adolescence
There are no normative tables
for women <25 years
is WHO criteria appropriate
for diagnosis of
osteopaenia/osteoporosis (A) Normal bone
in POF ? (B) Osteoporotic bone
22. Current T scores are invalid diagnostic markers of bone density in young
POF patients
POF patients require their own group specific baseline BMD values
The rising incidence of premature ovarian failure in an increasingly younger
age group warrants re-evaluation of our diagnostic criteria to facilitate
management of reduced bone mass in this vulnerable patient group.
ALTERNATIVES:
Quantitative computed tomography (QCT)
- evaluate bone in 3 dimensions, ‘gold standard’, primarily for research
Quantitative ultrasound
- no radiation exposure, inexpensive, lack adequate normative databases
Magnetic resonance imaging
- radiation-free, evaluate bone geometry AND quality, lack normative databases

28. Principles of Hormone Replacement in early
menopause
Estrogen replacement is first line treatment
1)Pre pubertal : To induce development of secondary
sexual characteristics
2)To relieve the immediate sequelae of menopause i.e.
symptom relief and quality of life
3)To prevent the long term sequelae of the menopause
4)To create an environment conducive to the successful
replacement of donated embryos
29. Early menopause
Therapeutic Options
• Route / Type HRT
• Choice of oestrogen route of administration must be made
on individual basis
• No controlled studies regarding the ideal hormone
replacement strategy for women with premature
ovarian failure
In principle, non oral E2 / progesterone preparations
can be better monitored but what is ideal E2 level?
30. HRT preparations in Early
menopause
• Progestogenic opposition if uterus present
– Even after radiotherapy
• Aim for minimum effective oral dose or local
opposition with Mirena / Crinone / Cyclogest
• ?Aim for natural progesterone replacement
31. Timing of HRT Usage
• Management
– Liaise with gynae oncologists / medical oncologists /
haematologists re time to start
– Immediately if curative procedure (after hist diagn)
– Delay (1 year disease free interval) if oestrogen
sensitive tumour e.g. endometrial carcinoma
– Treat at least until average age of menopause
– HRT “holidays” to test ovarian function
32. Hormonal Replacement Therapy
• Hormonal therapy would seem warranted for women – to
eliminate symptoms and prevent bone loss; data from the WHI
do not apply.
• Abundant data indicate that E/P in any form does not prevent
ovulation and pregnancy – for unclear reasons. Thus, barrier
contraception may be warranted.
• Young women without ovarian function may require more
estrogen than older women to alleviate symptoms of estrogen
deficiency.
• There are virtually no data regarding the safety and efficacy of
E/P in women with POF.
33. Premature Ovarian Failure
Therapeutic Options
• Combined oral contraceptive pill
– “Use of ethinylestradiol has been driven by
practicalities rather than science”
» Conway et al (1996)

34. Premature Ovarian Failure
Therapeutic Options
• Combined Pill v HRT
– 0.625mg v 30mcg EE in 17 adult women with Turner’s
Syndrome
– 6 month cross over study :Hormones, Lipids, Bone
Turnover etc
– FSH most suppressed by EE, BUT HRT was superior at
minimising hyperinsulinaemia & bone turnover

35. Questions for Gynecologists, ACOG 2003-5: Would
you give a woman with idiopathic POF hormone
therapy (HT)?
• Yes – 94%
• No – 6%
36. Questions for Gynecologists, ACOG 2003-5: What
form of HT would you administer to women with
POF?
• Combination oral contraceptives 60%
• Continuous combined HT 16%
• Sequential HT 22%
• No therapy 1%
37. Questions for Gynecologists, ACOG 2003-5: How long
should a woman with POF be treated?
• Until the expected age of menopause 67%
• For the remainder of her life 11%
• For 1 to 5 years 11%
• Uncertain 11%
38. Questions for Gynecologists, ACOG 2003-5: Is a
woman with POF at increased risk of side effects from
estrogen?
• Yes 25%
• No 38%
• Uncertain 37%
39. Additional Treatment in POF
• Addition of exogenous androgen?
• Recommendations to prevent osteoporosis are
warranted:
– Calcium 1200-1500 mg/day
– Daily weight bearing exercise
– Daily vitamin D
40. Fertility Options in women at risk of POF
• Surgery
– Ovarian transposition
– Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation
• Transplantation – e.g. (Donnez 2004, Chaim Sheba Medical
Centre Israel 2005, Oktay 2006)
• IVF
– Own Embryo Cryopreservation
– Own Oocyte Cryopreservation (1st pregnancy 2001)

42. FUTURE RESEARCH IN WOMEN UNDERGOING
PREMATURE MENOPAUSE
1. Is premature menopause a deficiency disease
requiring physiologic replacement?
2. Should be treated with exogenous E with or without
progestin?
3. What form of HT is most appropiate?
4. For how long should HT be administrated?
5. How safe is HT in women with premature versus
natural menopause?
Hendrix SL. Am J Med. 2005 Dec 19;118(12 Suppl 2):131-5.
43. Future Objectives:
• Need to merge data over the long term to look at
quality of life / fertility outcomes / osteoporosis / CV
disease
• POF patients should therefore remain under long term
follow up
