Primary & Secondary Amenorrhea
Understanding Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstrual periods. It is classified into two types:
Causes of Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea can result from a variety of factors, including:
- Hormonal imbalances – affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary, or ovaries
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid disorders
- Premature ovarian failure
- Stress, significant weight loss, or excessive exercise
- Structural abnormalities of the reproductive organs
A thorough assessment by a specialist is essential to identify the root cause and provide effective treatment.
