AMENORRHOEA Meaning and
Definition
-
Amenorrhoea is a medical condition characterized by the absence or cessation of menstrual periods in women who are of reproductive age. Derived from the Greek words "a," meaning without, and "menon," meaning month, amenorrhoea literally means the absence of monthly bleeding. This condition can be classified into two main types: primary and secondary amenorrhoea.
Primary amenorrhoea refers to the absence of menstruation in girls who have reached the age of 16 without experiencing their first period. It can occur due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs, or certain chronic illnesses.
Secondary amenorrhoea occurs when a woman who has previously menstruated experiences the sudden cessation of her periods for at least three consecutive months. It can be caused by a range of factors including pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal imbalances, extreme weight loss or gain, excessive exercise, stress, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions.
The absence of menstrual periods can have significant implications for a woman's overall health and fertility. It is essential for individuals experiencing amenorrhoea to seek medical evaluation and diagnosis to identify and address the underlying cause. Treatment options may include hormonal therapy, lifestyle modifications, and addressing any preexisting conditions. Early detection and intervention can help restore normal menstrual function and promote reproductive health.
