Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Secondary amenorrhea in women of reproductive age may be an indication of an undiagnosed, chronic condition and appropriate treatment is dependent upon accurate diagnosis of the underlying etiology. A thorough clinical assessment and a few common laboratory tests can easily identify the most frequent causes of secondary amenorrhea. However. in these cases, misdiagnosis is unfortunately common and often the result of poor laboratory utilization in the form of a failure to employ indicated tests, the use of obsolete tests, or erroneous interpretation in the face of interfering factors or co-morbidities. Consequently, the algorithmic approach to laboratory evaluation in the context of secondary amenorrhea described in this review can minimize the risk of diagnostic error as well was decrease test volume, cost, and time to diagnosis.aim of the study is to evaluate the cause of secondary , management and outcome of secondary amenorrhea using an algorithmic approach in 100 cases patients of secondary amenorrhea who attended gynaecological OPD
