For "Informational Use Only".
For more detailed information, contact your health care provider
about options that may be available for your specific situation.




BASIC INFORMATION


DESCRIPTION

Primary amenorrhea is the complete absence of menstruation in a young woman who is at least 16 years old, or at age 14 with a lack of normal growth or absence of normal sexual development. It is a rare disorder as over 95 percent of girls have their first menstrual period by age 15.






FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

  • No menstrual flow. Lack of menstrual periods after puberty. Most girls begin menstruating by age 14, average age is 12 years and 8 months.





  • primary amenorrhea


    CAUSES

  • Usually unknown. Primary amenorrhea in the United States occurs in less than 0.1 percent of girls. Possible causes include:
    • Delayed puberty.


    • Congenital abnormalities, such as the absence or abnormal formation of female organs (vagina, uterus, ovaries). Vaginal septum, cervical stenosis, imperforate hymen.


    • Intact hymen (imperforate hymen), the membrane covering the vaginal opening that has no opening to allow passage of menstrual flow.


    • Gonadal dysgenesis.


    • Hypoglycemia.


    • Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.


    • Cystic fibrosis.


    • Cushing's disease.


    • Polycystic ovarian disease.


    • Chronic (long term) illness.


    • Chromosome disorders and abnormalities. Turner's syndrome (XO) or Sawyer's syndrome (XY).


    • Systemic disease or infection.


    • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.


    • Hyperprolactinemia.


    • Testicular feminization.


    • True hermaphroditism.


    • Adrenogenital syndrome.


    • Congenital heart disease (cyanotic).


    • Congenital adrenal hyperplasia.


    • Craniopharyngioma. Pituitary tumors, ovarian tumors, adrenal tumors.


    • Prader-Willi syndrome.


    • Malnutrition.


    • Drastic weight reduction (from poverty, fad dieting, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, strenuous exercise or other causes).


    • Extreme obesity.


    • Pregnancy.





    RISK INCREASES WITH

  • Stress.


  • Use of drugs, including oral contraceptives, anticancer drugs, barbiturates, narcotics, cortisone drugs, chlordiazepoxide and reserpine.


  • Excessive exercise.


  • Family tendency to start menstruation late.


  • Excessive dieting or weight loss.


  • Psychological eating disorders such as Bulimia or Anorexia Nervosa.





  • PREVENTIVE MEASURES

  • Don't use drugs unless prescribed by a health care provider.


  • Don't use mood-altering, mind-altering, stimulant, or sedative drugs.


  • Reduce athletic activities if they are too strenuous. Maintain a healthy muscle-fat ratio in the female body.


  • Obtain medical and/or psychological treatment for any underlying disorder.


  • Maintain proper nutrition and body weight. A growing body during adolescence needs plenty of healthy nutritious food to grow.





  • female reproductive anatomy


    EXPECTED OUTCOME

  • The absence of menstruation is not a health risk in itself, but the cause should be identified. If an ovarian cyst or tumor is the cause, it requires removal.


  • Amenorrhea is usually curable with hormone treatment or removal of the underlying cause. Treatment may be delayed to age 18 unless the cause can be identified and treated safely.


  • Causes which sometimes cannot be corrected include chromosome disorders and abnormalities of the reproductive system.


  • Overall outlook is good, depending on the cause of the amenorrhea. If the amenorrhea is caused by one of the following conditions, there is a good possibility of correcting the amenorrhea through medication, lifestyle change, or surgery.
    • Normal delay of onset (up to age 14 or 15).
    • Drastic weight reduction (resulting from poverty or fad dieting).
    • Hypoglycemia.
    • Extreme obesity.
    • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
    • Chronic illness.
    • Malnutrition.
    • Congenital heart disease (cyanotic).
    • Hyperthyroidism.
    • Imperforate hymen.
    • Adrenogenital syndrome.

    If the amenorrhea is caused by one of the following conditions, it is unlikely that the amenorrhea can be corrected by any method.
    • Congenital abnormalities of the genital system.
    • Gonadal dysgenesis.
    • Turner's syndrome (XO).
    • Testicular feminization syndrome.
    • True hermaphroditism.
    • Cystic fibrosis.
    • Craniopharyngioma.
    • Prader-Willi syndrome.

    If the amenorrhea cannot be corrected, it is sometimes possible to create a pseudo-menstruation with medications to help the young woman feel more like her friends or family.





    POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS

  • Psychological distress about sexual development. Emotional distress or crisis about being different from friends or family can occur.


  • Inability to conceive.


  • Rare endocrinological condition may require surgical treatment in addition to hormone replacement.




  • TREATMENT


    GENERAL MEASURES

    DIAGNOSIS

  • Physical examination and medical history is taken and assessed.


  • Diagnostic tests may include a thorough physical examination, and a medical and personal history, laboratory studies of blood samples to check for hormone levels, plus thyroid and adrenal function studies.
    • Urine pregnancy test.
    • Progesterone withdrawal.
    • Chromosome analysis.
    • Serum chemistry (serum gonadotropin).
      • LH
      • FSH
      • Prolactin
      • TSH
      • T3 and T4
    • Urine chemistry, 17-ketosteroids.
    • Head CT.
    • Head MRI scan.
    • Laparoscopy.
    • Ultrasound, pelvic region.


    TREATMENT

    Treatment depends on the cause of the missing period. Primary amenorrhea caused by birth defects may require medications (hormone therapy), surgery, or both.

  • Treatment usually involves hormone replacement therapy. Treatment for amenorrhea not related to hormone deficiency depends on the cause.


  • If the amenorrhea is caused by a tumor of the brain (pituitary tumor), the tumor is usually treated with a drug called bromocriptine. Surgery to remove the tumor may also be necessary. Radiation therapy is usually only performed when other treatments have not worked.


  • Surgery (minor) to create an opening in the hymen, if necessary.


  • Surgery to correct abnormalities of the reproductive system, if possible.





  • MEDICATION

    You may be prescribed progesterone (hormone) treatment to induce bleeding. If bleeding begins when progesterone is withdrawn, the reproductive system is functioning. This also indicates that pituitary disease is unlikely. If progesterone withdrawal does not induce bleeding, gonad stimulants such as clomiphene or gonadotrophins may be used for the same purpose.




    ACTIVITY

  • No restrictions. Exercise regularly, but not to excess.


  • Sleep at least 8 hours every night.





  • DIET

  • Eat three well-balanced meals a day.


  • If you are overweight or underweight, get medical advice about diets. Do not try to lose weight by crash-dieting. Avoid fad diets since they can be very nutritionally unhealthy.

  • Acetyl-L-carnitine is an amino acid that can improve hormone levels in women with low initial levels.
    • Carnitine is an amino acid produced endogenously in the kidneys and liver and is derived from meat and dairy products. Carnitine has been found to have health benefits associated primarily with heart health and plays an important role in the protection against heart disease. An additional health benefit of Carnitine is that it increases fat metabolism; therefore, it can help reduce the chances of becoming obese. Carnitine is a nutrient responsible for the transport of long chain fatty acids into the energy producing centers of the cells (known as mitochondria). In other words, Carnitine helps the body convert fatty acids into energy, which is used primarily for muscular activities throughout the body. Many athletes and body builders use Carnitine supplements because they believe it increases stamina and develops muscle mass. Some people have dietary deficiencies of Carnitine or cannot properly absorb this nutrient from foods that they eat. Carnitine deficiencies may be caused by genetic disorders, liver or kidney problems, high-fat diets, certain medications and low dietary levels of the amino acids Lysine and Methionine (substances needed to make Carnitine). Carnitine deficiencies may cause symptoms such as fatigue, chest pain, muscle pain, weakness, low blood pressure, and/or confusion. Most people do not need to supplement their diet with Carnitine; however, for therapeutic use, the standard dosage is 1-3 grams per day.

  • Calcium and Vitamin D prevent bone loss (osteoporosis). Calcium should be taken with Magnesium and Vitamin D for better absorption and support.
    • Calcium is essential for the proper development of bones and teeth, and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions that produce energy. It is necessary for healthy muscle functions such as muscle contraction and relaxation. Calcium also regulates heart rhythm and activates enzyme systems that induce blood clotting, and it has the ability to promote healing. It is one of the most essential major biochemical elements needed in human nutrition. Every organ in the body needs Calcium. It is stored in the blood and teeth, as well as in the nerves, muscles and tissues. Calcium promotes tone, power, strength, longevity, vitality, endurance, rapid wound healing, and helps regulate metabolism. It is easy for our bodies to become Calcium deficient because it is used in almost every function. When the diet is inadequate, Calcium is one of the first elements to go out of balance. Calcium raises the body's resistance to viruses, parasites, bacteria, and cancer. Calcium is beneficial to everyone, but research has shown that women may benefit more than others. Pregnant women who do not get enough in their diet can increase the bone mineral content of their fetus. PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is another condition that may be alleviated by the use of calcium supplements. Research has shown that women who took 1,200 mg per day reduced their symptoms by more than 50 percent. A 1999 study showed that women who take Calcium as a daily supplement reduce their risk of a stroke. Calcium is frequently prescribed with Estrogen at the beginning of menopause to treat or prevent osteoporosis.

      Vitamin D, calciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is found in food, but also can be made in your body after exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Vitamin D exists in several forms, each with a different activity. Some forms are relatively inactive in the body, and have limited ability to function as a vitamin. The liver and kidney help convert vitamin D to its active hormone form. The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. It promotes bone mineralization in concert with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen. Vitamin D prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, which are skeletal diseases that result in defects that weaken bones. One cup of vitamin D fortified milk supplies about one-fourth of the estimated daily need for this vitamin for adults. Although milk is fortified with vitamin D, dairy products made from milk such as cheese, yogurt, and ice cream are generally not fortified with vitamin D. Only a few foods naturally contain significant amounts of vitamin D, including fatty fish and fish oils.

  • Blue Cohosh stimulates menstrual flow. Do not take during pregnancy.
    • Today Blue Cohosh is used to regulate the menstrual flow and for treating suppressed menstruation. This herb eases muscle spasms and stimulates uterine contractions for childbirth and has been used in folk medicine to prevent miscarriage. Blue Cohosh has also been used to improve memory and calm nerves. This herb also reduces the inflammation of arthritis and rheumatism. Blue Cohosh is an excellent uterine tonic that may be used in any situation where there is weakness or loss of tone. European researchers have identified some antibiotic and immune-stimulating properties, it may have a potential in treating bladder and kidney infections. Blue Cohosh is also used in Homeopathy. The homeopathic remedy made from Blue Cohosh is called Caulophyllum and is recommended for menstrual cramps, PMS, dysmenorrhea and midwives use it for support during childbirth. Homeopaths may also prescribe Caulophyllum for gout, rheumatism, false labor pains and gonorrhea. Blue Cohosh comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. For making an infusion it is a 1:16 ratio of 15-30 ml every 2-4 hours. In using a tincture it is a 1:5 ration of 0.6-1.8 ml, 3 to 4 times per day. A Blue Cohosh extract is a 1:1 ratio in 60 percent alcohol, 0.3-0.9 ml, 3 times per day. For treating one of the conditions above, it is best to seek the advice of your midwife or health care provider before using Blue Cohosh for the treatment of your condition.

  • Motherwort and Yarrow stimulates absent or light periods.
    • Research has shown that Motherwort is able to calm palpitations and irregular heartbeat. It is used as a specific remedy for tachycardia caused by anxiety, and for all heart conditions that produce anxiety and tension. The glycosides in this herb have the short-term ability to lower blood pressure. Motherwort seeds are effective in stimulating a suppressed or delayed menstruation, and can ease dysmenorrhea, especially when there is anxiety or tension involved. It has also been used to ease false labor pains, and when taken as an infusion after childbirth, helps restore the uterus and reduce the risk of postpartum bleeding. Motherwort is also helpful in reducing the effects of menopause. The seeds are also said to brighten vision, and a decoction of seeds is used to relieve conjunctivitis or sore and tired eyes. The aerial part of the plant is used to treat eczema and sores. An infusion or diluted Motherwort tincture can be used as a douche for vaginal infections and discharges. To treat blood pressure, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, and anxiety, Motherwort should be taken for several months for best results. This herb comes in various forms so it is important to read and follow product label directions for treating your condition. Motherwort is a uterine stimulant and should be avoided during pregnancy, although it may be used during labor. There have been some incidents of dermatitis upon contact with the plant in susceptible individuals. It is suggested that those individuals with clotting disorders, high blood pressure, or heart disease refrain from using Motherwort.

      Achillea millefolium, the scientific name for Yarrow, was derived from the Greek general Achilles. It was said that during the Trojan War Achilles used Yarrow to stop the bleeding of his soldier's wounds. Throughout time it has also been used as a treatment for respiratory infections, menstrual pain, and digestive upset. Though there have been no scientific studies to prove its effectiveness, Yarrow tea is commonly taken at the onset of a cold or flu to induce sweating and ward off infection. The crushed leaves and flower tops of this herb can be used in a poultice to stop nosebleeds and bleeding from minor wounds. To drink as a tea, steep 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried herb per cup of water. For other formulations, read product label directions. Yarrow has few if any side effects other than the occasional allergic reaction; however, safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease is not known.

  • Vitex Agnus-Castis (Chaste Tree Berry) reduces elevated prolactin levels that can cause amenorrhea.
    • The fresh ripe Chaste Tree berries, when pounded to a pulp, have been used in the form of a tincture for the relief of paralysis, pains in the limbs, weakness, and breast pain, in addition to the menstrual regulation and treatment of hemorrhage. Clinical trials have shown that prolonged use of Chaste Tree Berries significantly reduces a range of PMS symptoms, from irritability and headaches to cramping and breast pain. The herb can lengthen the proliferative (first) phase of the menstrual cycle and also relieve water weight, headache and fatigue. Other trials have shown genuine effectiveness for women suffering from infertility and irregular periods. Chaste Tree Berry works well in reducing the symptoms such as hot flashes associated with peri-or post menopause. Some studies have shown the berries to be anti-androgenic and can therefore be used to help treat acne in men and women and reduce an overactive libido. Current research supports the ancient medicinal uses as the Vitex (Chaste Berry) causes the pituitary gland to produce a luteinizing hormone, which re-establishes the normal balance between estrogen and progesterone, thereby regulating a women's cycle. Chaste Tree Berry comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. The recommended dose is 1 capsule per day. For using a tincture, take 40 drops of the extract in the morning in a glass of water. With Chaste Tree Berry, no matter which formulation you use, it can take a awhile before the effects are noticeable, but usually a change is noticed by the third or fourth menstrual cycle after you begin taking it. For other formulations, read product label directions. Those on hormone replacement therapy should not take Chaste Tree Berry. If you are pregnant or nursing do not take this supplement. Safety in young children, or those with severe liver or kidney disease is not known.
