Review
A practical approach to the diagnosis of amenorrhea is presented. By utilizing a flow-chart 410 patients with amenorrhea were categorized in the following groups: (i) polycystic ovarian disease; (ii) hypergonadotrophic amenorrhoea; (iii) hyperprolactinaemic amenorrhoea; (iv) normogonadotrophic amenorrhoea; and (v) hypergonadotrophic amenorrhoea. This approach helps the practising physician to come to a logical aetiological diagnosis in each category and saves time as well as money. This approach depends on clinical as well as appropriate laboratory examinations, most of which can be done by the private practitioner. Only a minority of patients need sophisticated and costly examinations.

Review
Female athletes often experience amenorrhoea at various times during training, but this should not be considered normal. Low energy availability is a common cause of menstrual dysfunction, and amenorrhoea can serve as a warning sign of some of the health and performance consequences associated with inadequate energy, including poor bone accrual and low bone mineral density. Adolescence is an important time for bone accrual, growth, and development, making delayed menarche and secondary amenorrhoea particularly concerning in young athletes. The development of disordered eating and eating disorder behaviours also peaks during adolescence. Thus, screening for low energy availability, establishing the various causes of amenorrhoea, and treating amenorrhoea and low energy availability with an interdisciplinary team is most effective.

Puberty is a life-changing time in the life of a young person, with physical, psychological and social considerations. Amenorrhea is derived from Latin: a-'not', men-'month' and rhein-'flow', meaning absence of monthly flow. In medical terms, it is a symptom describing absence of menstruation. It can be classified as either primary or secondary. This article will focus solely on primary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea can induce great anxiety in both the patient and the family and often presents to the general paediatrician. A thorough history and examination and judicious use of investigations is crucial to ensure timely diagnosis and management.
