Exploring the Experiences and Reproductive Health Needs of Young Women With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: A Qualitative Content Analysis
The findings of this study reveal that the experience of Iranian women with premature ovarian insufficiency extends beyond purely medical dimensions, encompassing deep psychological, social, and legal challenges. These women grapple with feelings such as psychological failure stemming from the loss of fertility and the sensation of aging prematurely. Furthermore, the analysis highlights their "Deprivation of Reproductive Autonomy" and a critical need for comprehensive supportive systems that are not currently accessible, a finding tied directly to the themes of "Barriers to Integrated Healthcare" and "Lack of Comprehensive Social Support."
