Article Synopsis
- A 25-year-old woman presented with joint pain, irregular menstruation, and a recent speech disorder, leading to a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure and subsequent hormone replacement therapy.
- After experiencing a stroke and additional symptoms, she was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome based on positive antibody tests.
- Treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids and other medications led to the return of her menstrual cycle, indicating her amenorrhea was likely related to autoimmune oophoritis from her lupus rather than any medication side effects.
