Primary amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation by age 16, while secondary amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation for three or more months. Amenorrhea can be caused by ovulatory issues like genetic abnormalities or acquired uterine issues, or by anovulatory issues involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries, or excess androgen levels. Evaluating a patient for amenorrhea involves taking a medical history and performing an examination and lab tests to diagnose the underlying cause. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, minimizing long-term health effects, and inducing ovulation if desired for pregnancy.
Secondary amenorrhoea by dr alka mukherjee dr apurva mukherjeealka mukherjee
The first step in the evaluation of any patient with secondary amenorrhea is a urine pregnancy test. Every contraceptive method has a failure rate, and anyone who is menstruating is potentially fertile, regardless of age. [5][6]
If the pregnancy test is negative, consider the clinical picture: hirsutism, acne, and a long history of infrequent and irregular menses suggest polycystic ovarian syndrome. By the Rotterdam criteria, a patient may be diagnosed with PCOS if she has two of the following: clinical or chemical hyperandrogenism, oligo- or amenorrhea, or polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. So if a patient has evidence of hirsutism and oligo- or amenorrhea, she can be diagnosed with PCOS without further laboratory testing or imaging.
If history and physical exam are not consistent with PCOS, a TSH should be ordered. Both hyper- and hypothyroidism can lead to menstrual dysfunction.
If TSH is normal, check a serum prolactin. Elevated serum prolactin suggests prolactinoma.

Concurrent imperforate hymen and transverse vaginal septum: A rare presentati...Apollo Hospitals
A 13 year old girl not attained menarche presented as a case of acute abdomen; she had a mass per abdomen, on ultrasound diagnosed as haematometra and hematocolpus; clinically had an imperforate hymen; further evaluation by MRI revealed a high vaginal cause of obstruction which cannot be differentiated as vaginal atresia or a combination of transverse vaginal septum and imperforate hymen; operative findings showed a imperforate hymen with a patent lower vagina and a transverse vaginal septum separating upper and lower vagina; surgical correction done and drained 1000 ml of blood and post operatively patient is followed up for a month and bleeding through vagina during the next cycle is noted showing the patent vagina. This is a first case of concurrent transverse vaginal septum and imperforate hymen without any other genitourinary anomalies in literature.
Menstrual irregularities are the problems with a girl's normal monthly menses. For example, missed periods, have them too frequently, having painful periods, or have excessively heavy flow. Menstrual irregularities can sometimes be a sign of an underlying health problem.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

high-dose progestins) and questions about recent use of
contraceptives.
•PMH
•PSH
9. Physical examination

are tall,
• Signs of development of secondary sexual charecteristics
• Signs of abnormal virilization
• Visual field disturbance or papilledeme.
• Pelvic examination

• No bleeding give estrogen for 21days followed by
progestron
• Bleeding hypothalamus-pitutary-ovarian axis

• If a Y chromosome is present, bilateral oophorectomy .
• Inducing ovulation if pregnancy is desired
14. Key points
•Always exclude pregnancy.
•Primary amenorrhea in patients without normal secondary sexual
characteristics is usually anovulatory.
•If patients have primary amenorrhea and normal secondary sexual
characteristics pelvic ultrasonography .
•If patients have signs of virilization, check for conditions that cause
androgen excess.
•If patients have symptoms and signs of estrogen deficiency (eg, hot
flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness or atrophy), check for premature
ovarian failure.
•If patients have galactorrhea, check for conditions that cause
hyperprolactinemia (eg, pituitary dysfunction, use of certain drugs).
