Over 55 years of age
Amenorrhea (Primary and Secondary)
Primary and Secondary Amenorrhea
Primary amenorrhea: No menarche by the age of 15 years (with or without
development of secondary sexual characteristics). Half of cases are caused by
chromosomal disorders (50%) such as Turner syndrome.
Puberty is delayed if there is no breast development by age 13
years, absence of pubic hair at age 14 years, and no menarche
by age 15 years.
Secondary amenorrhea: No menses for three cycles, or 6 months if
previously had menses. Most common cause is ).
Secondary Amenorrhea Associated With Exercise and Underweight
Excessive exercise and/or sports participation have a higher incidence of
amenorrhea (and infertility) due to relative caloric deficiency
"Female athlete triad"; anorexia nervosa/restrictive eating, amenorrhea, and
osteoporosis
Labs
Pregnancy test (serum human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG])
Serum prolactin level (rule out prolactinoma-induced amenorrhea)
Serum TSH; also follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing
hormone (LH; rule out premature ovarian failure)
If amenorrhea for more than 6 months, measure bone density
Treatment Plan
Educate about increasing caloric intake and decreasing exercise
Prescribe calcium with vitamin D 1,200 to 1,500 mg daily and vitamin
E 400 IU daily
Complications
, 4
Osteopenia/osteoporosis (stress fractures)
Myocardial atrophy, arrhythmia (sudden death), bradycardia,
hypotension
Hypoglycemia, dehydration, electrolytes
Lanugo (fine downy hair), telogen effluvium (hair loss), xerosis (dry
skin), infertility
Low body mass index (BMI), cachexia, anemia, respiratory failure
You are evaluating a 17-year-old Emily who presented with amenorrhea and
normal secondary sex characteristics. The purpose of the progesterone challenge is
to ascertain the presence of?
Endogenous estrogen
A 17-year-old female patient presents with amenorrhea for 4 months she did
experience menarche at age 15 but had not had a menstrual cycle since. On
physical examination, it is noticed that she has normal secondary sexual

determine the presence of adequate
Endogenous estrogen

characteristics. A progesterone challenge is ordered. The purpose is to determine

Endogenous estrogen
A 16year old girl who comes to your office with a history of secondary
amenorrhea. She experienced menarche at age 10, regular cycles for 2 years. She

diagnoses, what is the most frequent etiology of this problem:
Eating disorder
18yo female c/o secondary amenorrhea. On exam, there is normal secondary sex
characteristics and normal genitalia. Pregnancy is ruled out. What would
necessitate further eval?
Galactorrhea
Primary amenorrhea is best described as:
Failure to menstruation to occur by 13 yr
A nurse practitioner is caring for a woman with primary and secondary
amenorrhea. The pelvic exam was normal. Which of the following may be the
