Did you know that menstrual abnormalities affect up to 75% of adolescent females and account for a large portion of visits to the doctor as well as for missed school? Dr. Nirupma Sharma, a pediatric hospitalist with prior training in obstetrics and gynecology, joins medical students Mary Beth Mahaffey and Lauren Brewer to discuss evaluation of a common menstrual abnormality, amenorrhea, in a female adolescent patient. Specifically, they will:
- Define amenorrhea and distinguish between primary and secondary causes.
- Discuss important aspects of the history and physical exam, as well as interpretation of relevant labs.
- Review the presentation and initial diagnostic workup of the female athlete triad, also known as functional hypothalamic amenorrhea.
- Overall, provide guidance for pediatricians in recognizing disorders related to amenorrhea to allow for early detection and promotion of proper treatment and referral when necessary.
- Special thanks to Dr. Erin Latif and Dr. Rebecca Yang for peer reviewing this episode.
