Definitions and Epidemiology
Pregnancy Breast feeding Menopause Not physiologic Primary amenorrhea Normal secondary sex characteristic no manarche by 16 years no periods by 2 years after start of secondary sex changes If No secodary sex characteristic 14 years Secondary amenorrhea If regular menstruation : 3 cycles If irregular mrnstruation : 6 months
3
Secondary Amenorrhea Etiology Hypothalamic causes
Pituitary causes Premature ovarian failure(<40 years) Outflow tract Hyperandrogenic anovulation Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Normogonadotropic hypogonadism

20
Primary Amenorrhea gonadal failure is most common cause
Low FSH 30% gonadal failure is most common cause 30% have genetic abnormality Gonadal dysgenesis, Turner’s syndrome, mosaicism uterovaginal agenesis is second most common cause Anorexia nervosa Breast 30% High FSH 40%
21
History Normal physical & pubertal development?
Family history of delayed/absent menarche? Short stature compared to family members? Neonatal/childhood health normal? any recent increase in stress, or change in weight, diet, or exercise habits?

23
Secondary sex characteristic
Thelarche (breast devel): average age yrs estrogen exposure Adrenarche (pubic/axillary hair development): average 11 yrs ovarian,adrenal androgen production ,end organ response Decreased breast size or vaginal dryness decreasing estrogen exposure (or increasing androgens) Karyotype for patients with premature ovarian failure <30yo If hirsutism is present, consider PCOS, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing’s, or ovarian tumors: check free testosterone
24
Tanner Staging Stage 1 : prepubertal Stage 2 : breast bud

25
Tanner Staging Stage1 : villus hair
Stage 2 : Sparse growth of slightly pigmented hair along labia (11.9 years) Stage 3 : Coarser, curled and pigmented; spreads across pubes (12.7 years) Stage 4 : Adult-type hair but no spread to medial thigh (13.4 years) Stage 5 : Adult-type hair with spread to medial thigh but not up linea alba (14.6 years) Karyotype for patients with premature ovarian failure <30yo If hirsutism is present, consider PCOS, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing’s, or ovarian tumors: check free testosterone

Diagnosis : hypothalamic amenorrhea
Further history Patient’s parents concerned about her eating habits (very low fat intake and restricting calories) Diagnosis : hypothalamic amenorrhea Etiology is most likely inadequate caloric and fat intake. referred for evaluation for an eating disorder.
