Does IVF invoke premature menopause?

By Hot Flash

Reports out of India suggest that both lifestyle and use of IVF treatments are behind an increasing rate of premature menopause for urban women. 

Premature or early menopause is the occurrence of natural/not medically induced menopause occurring before 45.

While we might be aware of the life style behaviors (smoking, crash diets, obesity, lack of exercise) which effect our bodies, IVF is a new cause.  Doctors suspect that “over-stimulation of the ovaries to produce eggs and even heavy drug usage in the treatment that could lead to an early menopause”.
