I've a cat I took responsibility for a year ago. He is now 2 years old. He was 'fixed' before I got him. He was never declawed. He is usually REALLY good about not scratching furniture or things he shouldn't. Until Saturday morning. I left my closet open a crack, and he is a curious fellow, and loves the closet for some reason.
Ovarian dysgenesis is a major cause of premature menopause. Ovarian dysgenesis is seen in 30% of the cases.[3] Sex chromosome anomalies predominate as a cause. The commonest abnormality is 45X0 (Turner's syndrome). Chromosomal abnormalities are reported in 10-20% of cases involving X sex chromosomes.[3]
Women who have had a hysterectomy tend to go through menopause several years earlier than average, likely due to decreased blood flow to the ovaries. Family history and ovarian or other pelvic surgery earlier in life are also implicated as risk factors for POF. There are two basic kinds of premature ovarian failure.
