title: [Premature ovarian failure: etiopathogenic evaluation and therapeutic possibilities].
abstract: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a syndrome due to many etiologies, whose underlying mechanisms aren't completely understood yet. Consequently there are important therapeutic implications. The authors describe their experience treating patients with POF using hormonal replace therapy and ovulation induction therapy in order to restore or replace the early loss of reproductive capacity.
