Infertility is currently a priority problem for women of reproductive age. One of the reasons for this condition may be premature ovarian insufficiency. This is a pathological process causes by primary hypogonadism that occurs in women under 40 years of age. Its prevalence varies from 1:10,000 at the age of 20 to 1:100 at an older age. The absence of specific clinical manifestations of the disease complicates its early diagnosis and timely treatment. This pathological process manifests itself as secondary oligo-or amenorrhea, infertility. Less often, before the onset of reproductive disorders, there are manifestations of estrogenic insufficiency - vasomotor disorders - hot flashes, hyperhidrosis, cephalgia, tachycardia, arterial hypertension, emotional and vegetative disorders-irritability, asthenic manifestations, anxiety, depression, hypo - thymia, decreased libido. The lack of accurate data on etiological factors makes it harder to find methods for preventing this disease. The main direction of treatment is hormone replacement therapy, aimed at eliminating the insufficiency of natural estrogens in the woman's body. The chances of successful realization of the reproductive potential depend on the value of the follicle-stimulating hormone, since its high concentration affects the mitotic activity of granulosa cells of the follicle, which confirms the validity of hormone replacement therapy. The non-occurrence of pregnancy after therapy forces the patient to use assisted reproductive technologies using donor embryos and oocytes, while the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization does not exceed 58%. To prevent this outcome, if a woman has risk factors for developing premature ovarian insufficiency, it is necessary to timely assess the ovarian reserve with the preservation of her own oocytes for subsequent assisted reproductive technologies.
