Complications of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, in addition to surgical causes include bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, and complication of tubal ligation. Less common causes include chronic fatigue syndrome and HIV. Genetic causes include Fragile X Syndrome and Turner’s syndrome
Causes
Natural menopause is caused by age, but early menopause is caused by several causes include
Common causes:
- Premature ovarian failure/Primary ovarian insufficiency[1]
- Surgical causes such as bilateral oophorectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, and hysterectomy
