%X Premature ovarian insufficiency is characterized by reduced ovarian function in a young woman, resulting in an earlier menopause compared with women with normal ovarian function. It is a term that reflects the variable nature of the condition and is substantially less emotive than the formerly used ¡®premature ovarian failure¡¯, which suggested a single event in time. Tripterygium glycosides can damage ovarian function and cause infertility. This case report describes a 33-year-old female patient (gravida 0, parity 0) who presented with premature ovarian insufficiency after being treated with tripterygium glycosides for nephrotic syndrome. The woman received oestrogen-progestin replacement therapy (Femoston) and ovulation induction, which resulted in a successful pregnancy. The patient delivered a healthy baby girl. This case demonstrates that it is possible for a woman with tripterygium glycoside-induced premature ovarian insufficiency to become pregnant with the correct therapy
