- age 14 without onset of puberty
Secondary amenorrhea
Cessation of menses (absent for >3 months or >3 cycles) after menarche as occured
Oligomenorrhea
Menses occuring >35 days appart
Most common causes of secondary amenorrhea
HPO-axis (stress, exercise, weight loss), PCOS, premature menopause, hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, (antidopamine drugs), pregnancy, Asherman’s, pituitary tumor, Sheehan syndrome
Ovulatory DUB
Prolonged progesterone secretion -> excessive bleeding during regular menstrual cycles
Anovulatory DUB
No corpus luteum -> no progesterone secretion -> unpredictable bleeding patterns (not cyclic)
PCOS diagnostic criteria (Rotterdam)
Chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries
Cause of primary dysmenorrhea
Abnormally high prostaglandin levels
Treatment of dysmenorrhea
NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen)

Delayed puberty
If no period by 16 or no signs of puberty (breast development) by 14
Perimenopause
From menstrual cycle irregularity (3-5 years before loss of menses) to 1 year after menopause
Menopause

Premenopause
4-7 years: early (variable cycle length) and late (2 or more skipped cycles, anovulation)
Vulvovaginitis

Structural causes of abnormal uterine bleeding
PALM: polyps, adenomyosis, leiomyomas, malignancy
Functional ovarian cysts
Follicular (estradiol), corpus luteum (progesterone) and theca-lutein cysts (androgens)
Ovarian risk of malignancy index (RMI)
