Amenorrhea - Define, Cause, Sign and Symptoms, Type- Pathological and Physiological Amenorrhea and It's Treatment and management, Cushing Syndrome - Define, Causes, Sign And Symptoms in PPT
Amenorrhea is defined as the complete absence of menstruation, not a disease but a symptom linked to various physiological and pathological causes. It can be categorized into physiological forms (such as prepuberty, pregnancy, and postmenopause) and pathological forms, including true and false amenorrhea due to conditions affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovaries, and uterus. Diagnosis and treatment vary based on the underlying cause, with management strategies aimed at restoring menstruation or alleviating the condition.
Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation caused by hypothalamic/pituitary dysfunction.
Amenorrhea is classified into physiological (e.g., pregnancy, menopause) and pathological types, including obstructive conditions like cryptomenorrhea.
Primary amenorrhea can arise from genetic, hormonal (hypothalamic, pituitary), or congenital issues affecting the ovaries or uterus.
Turner’s syndrome results from X chromosome abnormalities causing stunted growth and sexual infantilism; includes true hermaphroditism and androgen insensitivity.
Ovarian failure may be genetic or environmental; PCOS is noted for its hormonal disturbances and is a common cause of amenorrhea.
Uterine causes of amenorrhea include congenital agenesis, hypoplasia, or endometrial damage resulting in menstrual absence.

 Definitions:
Amenorrhea meanscomplete absence of
menstruation in patients during the
reproductive years. It is not a disease, but
a symptom.
 Pathophysiology:
Amenorrhea occurs if the hypothalamus
and pituitary fail to provide appropriate
gonadotropin stimulation to the ovary,
resulting in inadequate production of
estradiol or in failure of ovulation and
progesterone production. Amenorrhea
can also occur if the ovaries fail to
produce adequate amounts of
estradiol despite normal and
appropriate gonadotropin stimulation
by the hypothalamus and pituitary
Classification of amenorrhea:
A)Physiological amenorrhea:
1- Before puberty: due to suppression of the
hypothalamo-pit.-ovarian axis which is
sensitive to the low level of estrogen
2- Pregnancy: due to pregnancy hormones;
estrogen & progesterone which suppress
gonadotropins.
3- Postpartum: Lactation amenorrhea is due to
prolactin which alters LH & FSH secretion or
inhibits GTH release
4- Postmenopausal: due to intrinsic ovarian
failure (depletion of ovarian follicles)
5.
B) Pathological amenorrhea:
I- False amenorrhea (Cryptomenorrhea):
Actually, menstruation takes place but there is an
obstruction to menstrual outflow produced by
congenital or acquired conditions:
a. Congenital causes:
1. Imperforate hymen: the represents the most common form of
vaginal outflow obstruction.
Symptoms: normal young girls complaining of :-
○ Cyclic lower abdominal (menstrual) pain
○ Lower abdominal swelling:
○ Retention of urine or difficulty with micturition.
6.
Examination:
 General examination:normal 2ry sex characters
 Abdominal examination: pelvi-abdominal swelling
may be felt.
 Local examination: bulging membrane at the
introitus which appear as a dark blue or purple
color due to retained blood. Gentle pressure on
the swelling will transmit a thrill to the vaginal
membrane.
2- Vaginal septum & atresia with a functioning
uterus: a transverse vaginal septum or
failure of canalization of the entire vagina.
The uterus develops normally 
hematometra & hematosalpinx when
menstruation is established.
7.
Treatment:
 Excision ofvaginal septum.
 For vaginal atresia: Laparotomy (open
the uterine cavity)  drainage
 Artificial vagina is constructed with a
therich skin graft.
3 - Atresia of the cervix with a
functioning uterus: is rare.
b- Acquired causes of
crytomenorrhoea:
1- Adhesive vaginitis: due to senile
vaginitis or due to radiotherapy or
chemical burns
2- Cervical stenosis: due to excessive
cauterization, amputation of the cervix,
trachelorrhaphy and Fothergil
operation
II - True amenorrhea: may be primary or
secondary
Drainage of hematocolpos
* Definition ofprimary amenorrhea: failure of
menarche to occur when expected in relation
to the onset of pubertal development.
It is defined either as absence of menses by age 14
years with the absence of growth or development of
secondary sexual characteristics or as absence of
menses by age 16 years regardless of growth and
devlopment of secondary sexual characteristics.
*Prevalence: about 0.3%
I) Constitutional: no pathology in the endocrine axis.
Constitutional pubertal delay: is caused by
immature pulsatile release of gonadotrophin-
releasing hormone; maturation eventually occurs
spontaneously.
 Common cause (20%)
 Under stature and delayed bone age (X-ray Wrist
joint)
 Positive family history
 Diagnosis by exclusion and follow up
 No anatomical abnormality and endocrine
investigations show normal results.
 Prognosis is good
 No drug therapy is required – Reassurance
Constitutional delay

- Treatment: no specific treatment. Treatment to relieve amenorrhea &
obesity by:
a- Reduction of weight
b- Thyroid hormone
c- Estrogen & progesterone
d- Pituitary gonadotophins FSH & LH
2- Laurance Moon Biedl's syndrome: in addition to findings
in Frolich's syndrome there is: retinitis pigmentosa,
polydactly & mental deficiency

Primary amenorrhea (cont.)
IV)Ovarian causes:
1- Congenital developmental defects:
a. Gondal dysgenesis: is spectrum of disorders with
associated hypergonadotropic Hypogonadism.
Chromosomally abnormal Chromosomally normal
- Classic Turner ’s syndrome (45XO) - 46XX (Pure gonadal dysgeneis)
- Turner variants (45XO/46XX) - 46XY (Swyer’s syndrome)
- Mixed gonadal dygenesis (45XO/46XY)
Characters of ovarian dysgenesis:
amenorrhea, stunted growth, genital atrophy and
absence of secondary sex characters
Expel:- - Turner’s syndrome
- True Hermaphroditism
- male hermaphroditism
13.
Turner’s syndrome:
 Turner'ssyndrome is caused by either a
complete absence or a partial abnormality
of one of the two X chromosomes.
 Sexual infantilism and short stature.
 Associated abnormalities, webbed neck,
coarctation of the aorta, high-arched
pallate, cubitus valgus, broad shield-like
chest with widely spaced nipples, low
hairline on the neck, short metacarpal
bones and renal anomalies.
 High FSH and LH levels.
 Bilateral streaked gonads (formed of
stroma only & no follicles).
 Karyotype: 80 % 45, X0 and 20% mosaic
forms (46XX/45X0)
 Treatment: HRT
Turner’s syndrome
14.
b. True hermaphroditism:
anymixture of ovary, testis,
and ovotestis – either
unilateral or bilateral is
possible, with ovarian tissue
more functional. The most
common is 46,XX
15.
c. Male hermaphroditism(androgen insensitivity):
formerly known as testicular feminization
syndrome
 Genetically mediated ( X-linked trait )
 Affected individuals have Karyotype 46, XY and have
normal testes (undescended) with normal production
of testosterone and normal conversion to
dihydrotestosterone
 Absent cytoplasmic testosterone receptors
 Due to absence of receptors in target organs, there is
a lack of male differentiation of the external and
internal genitalia. Therefore, external genitalia remain
female and Wolffian duct development fails to take
place. Also, Müllerian duct regression is induced by
anti-müllerian hormone which is produced by the
Sertoli cells of the fetal testes. Therefore, these
individuals have:
16.
Male hermaphroditism
(cont.) Normalfemale appearance
 No female or male internal genitalia
 Normal female external genitalia
 Short or absent vaginal pouch
 Scanty or absent pubic/axillary hair
 Normal or enhanced breasts
Treatment:

puberty due to ↑ risk of malignancy
(gonadoblastoma) found in 25% of
patients
 Surgical correction of the vagina
(artificial vagina)

 Autoimmune oophoritis
 Postinfection (eg. Mumps)
 Postoopherectomy
 Postradiation
 Postchemotherapy
Gonadotropins (FSH/LSH) will be high,
similar to menopause. The ovary is not
responding to pituitary GTH at puberty
18.
3- Prepubertal polycysticovarian syndrome
4- Resistant (insensitive ovary syndrome):
 1ry amenorrhea with well developed pubic &
axillary hair
 Atrophic vaginal & endometrial mucosa
 Elevation of FSH & LH with low estrogen
 N/E of the ovary  resemble prepubertal organ
 M/E  show numerous primordial follicles not
passed to mature size
 Treatment: Ovulation induction by GTH ( high
doses)
19.
V) Uterine causes:
1-Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser
Syndrome(MRKH) (utero-vaginal agenesis):
15% of primary amenorrhea. It is due to
congenital absence of mullerian ducts and is
characterized by:
 Normal secondary sexual development &
external female genitalia
 Normal female range testosterone level
 Absent uterus , fallopian tube, upper vagina
and normal ovaries
 Karyotype 46-XX
 15-30% renal, skeletal and middle ear
anomalies

3- Refractory endometrium
20.
VI) Disorders ofadrenal gland:
Adrenogenital syndrome: Late
onset congenital adrenal
hyperplasia (CAH)
 Autosomal recessive trait
 Most common form is due to 21-
hydroxylase deficiency in adrenal glands,
androgens can not be converted to
corticosteroids  Female
pseudohermaphroditism.
 Severe forms show signs of severe
androgen excess  Defeminization &
masculinization
 High 17 α -OH-progesterone blood level
 Treatment: cortisol replacement and may
be corrective surgery for external genitalia
Late onset CAH
21.
Diagnosis of primaryamenorrhea:
 History: obtaining a thorough history is
essential and comprises:
 Childhood growth and development including
height and weight charts and age at thelarche.
 Age at menarche of the patient's mother and
sisters
 History of chronic illness, trauma, surgery, and
medications
 Information regarding exercise, diet and
psychosocial issues.
 History of symptoms as cyclic lower abdominal
pain , virilizing changes
22.
Diagnosis of primaryamenorrhea (cont.)
Physical examination: special attention should be directed toward
evaluating
General:
Body dimensions ( Height & span) and habitus.
Distribution and extent of body hair
Muscle mass or other signs of virilization.
Extent of breast development by Tanner staging
Look for signs of Turner syndrome
Abdominal: look for pregnancy or pelviabdominal mass e.g ovarian mass
or hematocolpos
Local examination: of external and internal genitalia, with emphasis to
look for
Presence or absence of the uterus
Presence or absence of patent vagina or vaginal pouch
Evidence of exposure to androgens (pubic hair distribution and
clitoromegaly).
Imperforate hymen
Pelvic fullness (pregnancy, ovarian mass, and genital anomalies)
P/R: for virgins, hematocolpos
23.
U/S examination: Ifa genital examination is
not feasible, an abdominal ultrasound may be
useful to confirm the presence or absence of
the uterus.
Investigations of primary amenorrhea:
 Pregnancy test
 Physical examination to determine presence of
uterus
 FSH
N.B. Some patients will not demonstrate any obvious etiology for their
amenorrhea on history and physical examination. These patients can
be subjected to work up in a logical manner using a stepwise
approach after pregnancy is excluded.
Diagnosis of primary amenorrhea (cont.)
* Treatment ofprimary amenorrhea:
 If possible, the aim of therapy is correction of the cause e.g.
 Bromocripitine therapy for prolactinoma
 Specific therapy for malnutrition, malabsorption, weight loss,
anorexia nervosa, etc
 Imperforate hymen: cruciate incision
 Transverse vaginal septum: surgical removal
 Hypoplasia or absence of cervix in presence of functioning
uterus  hysterectomy is required as repair of the cervix has not
been successful
 Absent or short vagina: progressive dilatation or Mcindo’s
split thickness graft
 Patients with karyotype XY or mosaic gonads should be
removed
 Clomiphene citrate is ineffective in patients with hypogonadism
due to hypoestrogenism but HMG or pulsatile Gn RH can be
effective
 Patients with physiologic delay  reassurance
 Patients with all forms of gonadal failure and hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism  cyclic estrogen and progestin therapy
