Premature Ovarian Insuffiency Clinic

This clinic is designed specifically for women experiencing loss of ovarian function prior to the age of 40. Our clinic comprises a multidisciplinary team of a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychiatrist, and registered nurses. As Mount Sinai is a teaching hospital, residents and fellows may attend the appointment.

Treatment is focused on symptom management, patient education, evaluation of other medical issues which may be impacting symptoms, and emotional support.  Fertility options and referrals are facilitated. Participation in research trials may be offered.
