Dr. Answer Line

We are lucky to have a number of doctors knowledgeable about POF who donate their time and talents to respond to our questions. Please remember that they are volunteers - so if your post is missed, please do not reprimand them, simply repost your note! Because our doctors are volunteering their time and effort to answer questions on our board, we request that you limit your questions to strictly medical subjects. We suggest you review our FAQs before posting as your question may have already been answered.

And most importantly, our doctors cannot treat you over the Internet! They can answer your POF related questions, but they cannot diagnose or treat your specific case just by reading your posts. This is not a substitute for a visit to your health provider.
