Overview

Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended in patients of amenorrhea associated with hypothalamic causes, pituitary causes, ovarian insufficiency, and chronic anovulation. Hormone replacement therapy such as estrogen and progesterone are the mainstay of treatment in patients of amenorrhea.

Medical Therapy

Amenorrhea

  • 1 Hypothalamic causes
  • 2 Pituitary causes
  • 3 Ovary insufficiency
    • 3.1 Premature ovarian insufficiency[2]
    • 3.2 Turner syndrome[3]
      • 3.2.1 12-13 years old
        • Preferred regimen (1): Depot 17-β estradiol 0.2–0.4 mg IM every month
        • Alternative regimen (1): 17-β estradiol 6.25 μg transdermal daily
        • Alternative regimen (2): Micronized 17-β estradiol 0.25 mg PO daily
      • 3.2.2 12.5-15 years old
        • Gradually increase 17-β estradiol dose over about 2 years (e.g., 14, 25, 37, 50, 75, 100, 200 μg daily via patch) to adult dose, as following:
          • Preferred regimen (1): 17-β estradiol 100–200 μg transdermal daily
          • Preferred regimen (2): Micronized estradiol 2–4 mg PO daily
          • Preferred regimen (3): Ethinyl estradiol 20 μg PO daily
          • Preferred regimen (4): Conjugated equine estrogen 1.25–2.5 mg PO daily
      • 3.2.3 14-16 years old
        • Preferred regimen (1): Micronized progesterone 200 mg PO daily on the 20th–30th days of monthly cycle
        • Preferred regimen (2): Micronized progesterone 200 mg PO daily on the 100th–120th days of 3-month cycle 
  • 4 Chronic anovulation

Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs)

  • Different studies have shown that OCP therapy can slow down the bone loss process in patients with exercise- and anorexia-associated amenorrhea. The detailed results are as following table:[13]

Ethinyl estradiol 0.05 mg 12 months Lumbar spine No change BMD[23]
Norgestrel 0.5 mg

Ethinyl estradiol 0.035 mg 13 cycles Lumbar spine and femoral neck No significant change BMD in any sites[28]
Norgestimate 0.180–0.250 mg

Androgen therapy

  • Recent studies have shown that androgen therapy in the dose of 50, 100, or 200 mg of micronized DHEA daily may increase bone mineral density (BMD), and prevent osteoporotic fracture. However, there is no established long term study to prove this effect.[26]

Recombinant insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)

Recombinant leptin

Bisphosphonates

Medicine Dose Treatment duration Bone mineral density (BMD) site Outcome
