NIH Websites Are Changing

Beginning in late July, NIH will start introducing a new website experience designed to make it easier to find health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources. During the transition, you may notice changes to navigation, page layouts, and where some information is located.

What are the symptoms of Fragile X-Associated Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (FXPOI)?

FXPOI causes symptoms similar to other types of ovarian insufficiency.1 These symptoms can include:

  • Irregular menstrual periods (meaning that they may be infrequent, absent, or unusually light)
  • Unusually short (less than 21 days) or long (more than 35 days) menstrual cycles
  • Infertility—problems conceiving and/or carrying a pregnancy to term
  • Symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness
  • Early menopause, sometimes before age 40—or even younger.1
