Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI)
Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is an autoimmune disease that causes the onset of menopause prior to the age of 40. Previously known as Premature Ovarian Failure, or premature menopause, POI is often found in women who have additional autoimmune diseases, such as Lupus or Type-1 Diabetes. Symptoms are similar to physiologic menopause, and include hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Women experiencing POI should receive hormone therapy to reduce the occurrence of menopause-related complications such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and heart disease.

“Absolutely amazing. I feel hopeful and listened to for the first time in I don’t know how long. I wish I lived closer so I could see him in person more, and if there was a job opening I’d totally work in his office! I feel extremely happy with my decision to fly half way across the country and know my care is in the right hands :)”
