Infertility (Premature Ovarian Failure):

Understanding, Healing, and Restoring Hope

When Fertility Challenges Begin Earlier Than Expected

Fertility is one of the most delicate and personal aspects of a woman’s health.
While most women experience menopause around the age of 50, some face a loss of ovarian function much earlier, leading to what is medically known as Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) or Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI).

At our specialized women’s clinic in Dubai, we understand how emotionally and physically challenging this condition can be — and we are dedicated to offering advanced, compassionate care that focuses on hope, healing, and hormonal balance.

What Is Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)?

Premature Ovarian Failure occurs when the ovaries stop functioning normally before the age of 40.
This means the ovaries produce fewer eggs and lower levels of key reproductive hormones — mainly estrogen and progesterone.

Unlike natural menopause, which is a gradual process, POF can occur suddenly or progress unpredictably.
Women may still experience occasional ovulation or menstrual cycles, but fertility is significantly reduced.

Common Signs and Symptoms

Women with POF may experience symptoms similar to menopause, such as:

Irregular or missed menstrual periods
Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood swings or irritability
Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intimacy
Decreased libido
Fatigue and low energy
Difficulty conceiving

These symptoms are caused by declining estrogen levels, which affect not only fertility but also bone health, mood, and cardiovascular wellness.

Causes of Premature Ovarian Failure

POF can result from several underlying factors, including:

Genetic conditions such as Turner syndrome or Fragile X premutation
Autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks ovarian tissue
Chemotherapy or radiation therapy that damages ovarian cells
Environmental toxins or chronic stress
In many cases, the cause remains unknown (idiopathic)

Understanding the root cause is essential for designing a personalized treatment plan.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Our clinic provides comprehensive diagnostic testing to evaluate ovarian function and hormone levels, including:

FSH, LH, and Estradiol hormone levels
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) test to assess ovarian reserve
Pelvic ultrasound to visualize the ovaries and follicles
Genetic and autoimmune screening when needed

A detailed consultation allows our specialists to identify the extent of ovarian function and explore treatment possibilities.

Treatment Options & Supportive Care

Although there is currently no absolute “cure” for Premature Ovarian Failure, early diagnosis and advanced therapies can help restore hormonal balance, protect long-term health, and in some cases, support fertility.

Our treatment approach includes:

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
To restore hormonal balance naturally and relieve symptoms of estrogen deficiency.
Fertility preservation and management
Including assisted reproductive technologies (IVF or embryo transfer).
Nutritional and lifestyle guidance
Supporting ovarian health through vitamins, antioxidants, and stress reduction.
Psychological and emotional support
Helping patients cope with the emotional impact of infertility and hormonal change.

Each woman’s journey is unique — and so is her treatment plan.
Our team works with every patient to restore hormonal harmony and emotional wellbeing, providing care that blends science, empathy, and hope.

A diagnosis of Premature Ovarian Failure does not define your womanhood or your future.
With the right medical care, emotional support, and lifestyle guidance, you can continue to live fully, confidently, and healthily.
