What does premature ovarian failure mean?

If you are under forty years old, your ovaries have stopped working as they usually do, and you have not had gynecological surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation treatment, you may be diagnosed with premature ovarian failure (POF). Some health care providers also describe this condition as ovarian insufficiency. POF may occur years or decades before the typical age for menopause.

With POF your menstrual periods may sometimes stop completely; but often, you may still menstruate sporadically. In fact, POF is sometimes not classified as early menopause because its biological causes are different. Researchers have not been able to determine exactly why some women's ovaries stop working as usual at an early age.

While autoimmune disorders, chromosomal disorders, smoking, and certain viruses have been implicated, some women may just be genetically programmed to go through menopause at a younger age than others. In this case, despite the medical terminology, your ovaries have not really "failed," they have simply completed their mission earlier than usual. Just as women begin menstruation at different ages, women also reach menopause at different ages.

Also, the ovarian function may sometimes be temporarily disrupted and resume again.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
