Abstract
- Premature menopause is due to ovarian dysfunction. Premature menopause is characterized by arrested folliculogenesis before 40 years of age. Premature menopause is associated with health problems. The impact of estrogen deficiency tends to be chronic problems rather than acute. We have managed a case of recurrent non-vertebral fractures due to falls after premature ovarian dysfunction. We present this case with a brief review of the literature.
