Primary ovarian failure - (pronounced) (PRY-mayr-ee oh-VAYR-ee-un IN-suh-FIH-shen-see) condition in which the ovaries stop working and menstruation stops before the age of 40. This can lead to fertility problems and menopause symptoms. Primary ovarian failure means the ovaries are not functioning normally. This can be because they were removed through surgery, or it can be caused by some cancer treatments and certain diseases or genetic conditions. Some women with primary ovarian failure sometimes have menstrual bleeding and can have children. Also called premature ovarian failure
