These functions are tightly coupled. Predictable cyclicity is the hallmark of healthy ovarian function during the reproductive years. Each month, highly coordinated hormonal and ovarian morphological changes develop and release a mature oocyte that is ready for fertilization. A disruption of this process results in reproductive failure (anovulation) or endocrine failure (low serum levels of ovarian steroid hormones and inhibins). Ovarian failure due to inappropriate regulatory signals (hypothalamic or pituitary pathology) is known as secondary ovarian failure. Ovarian failure due to a pathological process directly affecting the ovaries (eg, chemotherapy, irradiation, autoimmunity, chromosomal abnormalities) is known as primary ovarian failure (POF). A simple means of distinguishing between the 2 conditions is to measure serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels (elevated in POF and low or normal in secondary ovarian failure). Aging is associated with a decline in the number of ovarian follicles, menstrual irregularities, ovarian hormonal deficiency, anovulation, decreased fertility, and, finally, a complete and irreversible cessation of menses known as menopause, usually occurring at a mean age of 51 years.

Articles by Kim, G. European Journal of Endocrinology, Vol 138, Issue 5, 554-556 Sixteen Korean female laborers who had been exposed to a cleaning solvent composed mainly of 2-bromopropane developed primary ovarian failure. Histologic findings from these patients' ovaries were similar to those observed in ovarian failure caused by radiation or chemotherapy, i.e., reduced number and developmental arrest of primary follicles, interstitial fibrosis and hyalinization of blood vessels. We followed their clinical course for 2 years and found that two patients recovered normal ovarian function spontaneously: one became pregnant and delivered a normal full-term baby, and the other resumed regular menstrual periods with normal hormonal values. Our observations support the idea that the increasing prevalence of ovarian failure in recent years might be due to an increase in presently unidentified environmental toxic agents.
