Diagnosis of amenorrhea involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Key steps include:
Taking a detailed history of the patient's menstrual cycle, diet, exercise habits, and family history. Conducting a physical exam to check for signs of puberty and any anatomical abnormalities. Running blood tests to measure hormone levels, such as FSH, LH, TSH, and prolactin. Imaging studies like ultrasound or MRI to evaluate reproductive organs. Genetic testing if a chromosomal abnormality is suspected.
