Project on Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
editThis article serves as a home base for the creation of a community of practice for primary ovarian insufficiency. The project is based on three foundational pillars: 1) integrative care, 2) community based participatory research, and 3) patient registries. [1]
This article does not plan to merge with the article entitled "Premature ovarian failure."
editThe term "Premature ovarian failure" is meant to imply that all of the follicles have been depleted from the ovary and there is no hope for conception. Data has shown that 75% of patients with this condition have follicles remaining in the ovary, which means conception is possible, and we know that occurs in 5 to 10% of women subsequent to diagnosis.[2] Also, the term primary ovarian insufficiency refers to a continuum of impaired ovarian function rather than an end stage. The states of impaired ovarian function along this continuum include women with occult primary ovarian insufficiency. These women still have regular menstrual cycles yet have impaired ovarian function as evidenced by elevated basal FSH level, low AMH level, or low ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation as part of infertility treatments.[3]

Awful article
editIf Primary ovarian insufficiency is not the same as premature ovarian failure, then why the first lines on both articles use them as synonyms? This is nonsense! Also, this article is of very little use: it should give an essential definition of the condition with pathogenesis, clinical findings, diagnostic criteria and treatment just like the articles for every other disease. There is nothing like that in here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.191.244.11 (talk) 08:50, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
