Hypothalamus amenorrhea
Other names for hypothalamus amenorrhea
Functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea, juvenile
hypothalamuses syndromeHypothalamic amenorrhea
is a condition in which menstruation stops for
several months due to a problem involving the
hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is in the center
of the brain and controls reproduction. It
produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
Cause of hypothalamus amenorrhea Hypothalamic
amenorrhea develops when poor nutrition or stress
alters your signaling to the brain to regulate
the menstrual cycle. Women with this condition
may be severely restricting their caloric intake,
exercising more than two to three hours a day, or
under major psychological stressHormonal

Many types of medical problems can cause hormonal
imbalance, including

• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)- PCOS causes
  relatively high and sustained levels of hormones,
  rather than the fluctuating levels seen in the
  normal menstrual cycle.

• Thyroid malfunction An overactive thyroid gland
  (hyperthyroidism) or underactive thyroid gland
  (hypothyroidism) can cause menstrual
  irregularities, including amenorrhea.

• Pituitary tumor - A noncancerous (benign) tumor
  in your pituitary gland can interfere with the
  hormonal regulation of menstruation.

• Premature menopause Menopause usually begins
  around age 50. But, for some women, the ovarian
  supply of eggs diminishes before age 40, and
  menstruation stops. The contributing factors to
  hypothalamic amenorrhea include energy imbalance,
  food restriction, weight loss, exercise, stress,
  and genetics.
