Amenorrhea Health Packages

🩸 What is Amenorrhea?
Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation.
It is classified into two main types:

1. Primary amenorrhea – when menstruation hasn’t started by age 15
2. Secondary amenorrhea – when a woman who previously had regular periods stops menstruating for three months or more

🚨 What are the common Causes of Amenorrhea?

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
• Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, prolactin, pituitary disorders)
• Ovarian dysfunction or premature ovarian failure
• Stress, eating disorders, or extreme exercise
• Uterine abnormalities (Asherman’s syndrome, fibroids)
• Pregnancy or menopause (if age appropriate)

🩺 Why Amenorrhea Health Check-Up Matters – For All Age Groups:

Teens and young adults:

• Early diagnosis of delayed menstruation can reveal conditions like PCOS, congenital anomalies, or hormonal delays.
• Reproductive-age women:
• Helps identify causes such as stress, thyroid dysfunction, or ovarian cysts — key for fertility and general well-being.
• Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women:
• Detects unexpected uterine or ovarian abnormalities and rules out serious concerns such as endometrial thickening or tumours.

Pelvic ultrasound, when combined with targeted blood testing and GP consultation, provides a complete and non-invasive way to investigate the cause of amenorrhea.
