How many women have POF?
In the study cited above by C. Coulam (et al), she discovered that it occurs naturally in 1 in 1000 women between the ages of 15 and 29 and 1 in 100 women between the ages of 30 and 39. In her study she excluded women who had had chemotherapy, radiation therapy or any type of a hysterectomy. We used her percentages and calculated that this affects a minimum of 250,000 women in the US!
