Infertility can be a result of this condition and is the most discussed problem resulting from it, but there are additional health implications of the problem, and studies are ongoing. For example, osteoporosis (decreased bone density) affects almost all women with<unk>  due to an<unk>  of estrogen. There is also an increased risk of heart disease, hypothyroidism such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Addison's disease, and other autoimmune disorders. Emotional health The most common words women use to describe how they felt in the two hours after being given the diagnosis of<unk>  are "devastated", "shocked," and "confused." The diagnosis is more than infertility and affects a woman’s physical and emotional well-being. Patients face the acute shock of the diagnosis, associated stigma of infertility, grief from the death of dreams, anxiety and depression from the disruption of life plans, confusion around the cause, shame, insecurity and lowered self-esteem, anger in reflection of being letdown by the medical system, symptoms of estrogen deficiency, worry over the associated potential medical sequelae such as reduced bone density and cardiovascular risk, and the uncertain future that all of these factors create. Women diagnosed with<unk>  in their 20s have disproportionately reported experiencing dismissiveness, bias, and “not being taken seriously” by healthcare professionals. There is a need for an evidence-based integrative medicine program to assist women with<unk> . Presently such a program does not exist in the community, but a community of practice has formed to address this deficiency. Women with<unk>  perceive lower social support than control women, so building a trusted community of practice for them would be expected to improve their well being. Also, when having that social support, it often helps with reducing stress and having better coping skills. It is important to connect women with<unk>  to an appropriate collaborative care team because the condition has been clearly associated with suicide related to the stigma of infertility. Suicide rates are known to be increased in women who experience infertility.
