Summary

This study looks at how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) affects adolescents aged 11-19 with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), a condition where ovaries stop working before age 40. Participants receive estrogen patches and progesterone pills over 2 years, with regular check-ups to monitor bone health, heart function, and other measures. The goal is to find the best HRT approach for this age group.
