Premature ovarian failure (POF)is a serious life-changing condition that affects young women, remains an enigma and the researchers’ challenge. POF, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), premature menopause, premature dysfunction (POD), or hypergonadotropic hypogonadism is one of the most perplexing disorders with aheterogeneous origin. Infertility, social and psychological stress are common consequences of this entity. This paper presents a rare condition where both twins had presented with POF.
