Article Synopsis
- - Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) is a reversible disorder caused by reduced secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), often triggered by stress, leading to lower hormone production and symptoms like amenorrhea and increased osteoporosis risk.
- - Diagnosis involves ruling out other causes of amenorrhea and confirming low hormone levels alongside stress factors like excessive exercise or low weight.
- - Treatment strategies include dietary changes, reducing exercise, psychological support, and possibly low-dose estrogen therapy or assisted reproductive technologies if ovarian function doesn’t resume.
