The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been emerging as a treatment option for patients with POI. Stem cell therapy has particularly been studied in the setting of iatrogenic ovarian destruction and shown great promise.

Ovulatory disorders are the leading cause of infertility classified into three categories according to the World Health Organization.

Group III ovulatory disorders involve multiple complex etiologies causing premature ovarian insufficiency (or failure), including genetic, iatrogenic and acquired causes.
