Activity Description

Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation in a female of reproductive age. Amenorrhea can be classified as either primary or secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is defined as having no history of menstruation by the age of 15 years or 3 years after thelarche; secondary amenorrhea is defined as the absence of menses for ≥3 months in a woman with previously regular menstrual cycles or ≥6 months in any woman with at least one previous spontaneous menstruation. Patients meeting the criteria for either primary or secondary amenorrhea warrant an evaluation. Additionally, an assessment for delayed puberty is indicated in adolescents aged 13 years and younger without initial breast development.

Most of the underlying causes of amenorrhea can be classified into general groups: outflow tract abnormalities, ovarian failure or insufficiency, hypothalamic or pituitary disorders, other endocrine gland disorders, and physiologic or medication induced. Proper management of amenorrhea requires an accurate diagnosis of the underlying etiology. The treatment for amenorrhea is based on correcting the underlying etiology and monitoring the patient for complications. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner's competence when managing amenorrhea, equipping them with updated knowledge, skills, and strategies for timely diagnosis, effective interventions, and improved care coordination, leading to better patient outcomes.
