This is case of secondary amenorrhea
In any case of secondary amenorrhea the answer to two major questions are essential to arrive at a diagnosis quickly
- Is the patient pregnant?
- Are her hormone assays normal?
Hence along with pregnancy testing Nurse Aretha should have also recommended Hormone assays for Prolactin, FSH and LH
High prolactin levels could be due to hypothalamic/pituitary tumours, hypothyroidism, drugs like antidepressants, cocaine, antipsychotics, some cases of PCOD etc
LH:FSH > 3:1.. PCOD
FSH increased, could be due to Turners syndrome
FSH AND LH decreased.. Pituitary failure or hypothalamic failure
Progesterone challenge test may be performed too. A postive test is commonly due to hypothalamic dysfunction or PCOD
