Reproductive Endocrinology Ovulation Physiology

Adolescent menstrual irregularity

Mansfield MJ, Emans SJ

Published June 1984 Journal of Reproductive Medicine
PMID 6379175

Abstract

Amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea in the adolescent female are often the result of anovulation due to an immature hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. A careful history, physical examination and selected laboratory tests can help to differentiate this type of transient menstrual irregularity from the large number of endocrine and anatomic abnormalities that also present in this age group.
