- The rise of premature menopause among Indian women, especially aged 30-39, is linked to factors such as lower education levels, poor wealth status, and rural living conditions.

- The findings suggest a need for increased awareness and alternative treatment options for women, highlighting the importance of addressing the complexities behind premature menopause to better support affected individuals.
