 Normal chromosomal pattern
 Co ordinated HPO axis
 Anatomical presence & patency of outflow
tract
 Responsive endometrium
 Active thyroid & adrenal glands
 Before puberty
 Pregnancy
 Lactation
 menopause
 Amenorrhea
 Periodic pain in the lower abdomen
 Abdominal lump
 Retention of urine

 Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism(43%)
 Developmental defects of genital tract(30%)
 Hyogonatotropic hypogonadism(27%)
 Abnormal chromosomal pattern
 Dysfunction of thyroid or adrenal
gland(adrenogenital syndrome,cretinism)
 Metabolic disorders(juvenile diabetes)
 Systemic illnesses(malnutition,TB,weight
loss,anaemia)
 Unresponsive endometrium:uterine synchiae
due to TB
 Primary ovarian failure
 Resistant ovarian syndrome
 Galactosemia
 Enzyme deficiency:17 alpa hydroxylase
deficiency
 Mullerian agenesis or dysgenesis
 Imperforate hymen
 Transverse vaginal septum
 Atresia of upper third of vagina & cervix
 Complete absence of vagina
 Absence of uterus(MRKH)
 Constitutional delay:delayed GnRH pulse
activation
 HPO AXIS DYSFUNCTION:stress,weight
loss,excessive exercise,chronic
disease(TB),anorexia nervosa
 Kallmans disease(inadequate GnRH pulse
secretion
 CNS TUMOURS:craniophayngioma(reduced
Gnrh RELEASE
 Turner”s syndrome(45X or various mosaics)
 Pure gonadal
dysgenesis(46XX…phenotypically female with
streak gonads)
 Androgen insensitivity syndrome(testicular
feministion syndrome…46XY)

 DEVELOPMENTAL ANOMALIES
ABSENT VAGINA:Vaginoplasty before
marriage
 CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES
Turner”s syndrome:short course of E+P for
breast development
XY Gonadal dysgenesis:gonads to be
removed for preventing seminoma or
dysgerminoma
 Androgen insensitivity syndrome:Reared as
female only & removal of gonads.HRT with CEE
0.625 mg continued for maintainence of
secondary sexual characters
 HPO Axis defect:
Constitutional delay:reassure patient or can be
induced using E+P
Kallman”s syndrome:periods induced with
pulsatile GnRH administration
HP tumours like craniopharyngioma needs
excision or radiotheraphy
 Thyroid & adrenal dysfunction:
1. Cretinism:thyroid replacement theraphy
2. Adrenogenital syndrome with enlarged
clitoris needs clitoroplasty &
corticosteriods for prolonged theraphy
3. 17 alpha hydroxylase
deficiency:corticosteroid replacement
theraphy
4. Prolactinomas:dopamine agonists
 Metabolic & nutritional
1. Diabetes:antidiabetics
2. TB:Anti TB drugs
3. Correction of weight loss
4. Reduction of stress
 Unresponsive endometrium due to TB
