1. Amenorrhea is divided into primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea occurs before the age of 40. There are no characteristic signs of menstrual abnormalities before amenorrhea in POF patients. Some women suddenly experience amenorrhea after regular menstruation, some experience amenorrhea after stopping birth control pills or giving birth, and some experience irregular menstrual cycles and periods before amenorrhea.
