Primary Amenorrhea
Primary amenorrhea is the absence of the first menstruation by the age at which it should normally have appeared. It is distinguished from secondary amenorrhea, in which the period stops after having started.
Common causes: hormonal, genetic, or reproductive-organ developmental factors, or factors related to weight and intense physical activity, may be involved.
When to see a doctor? If menstruation does not appear within the expected age range, an evaluation is advisable to determine the possible causes.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist and the endocrinologist are the ones who evaluate this condition, and in some cases the geneticist is involved. Seeing one of these professionals makes it possible to guide the evaluation in an orderly way.
