Amenorrhea secondary to ovarian dysfunction

**Amenorrhea secondary to ovarian dysfunction** refers to the absence of menstrual bleeding caused by intrinsic impairment or failure of the ovaries in female individuals of reproductive age Clinically, affected patients experience secondary amenorrhea (the cessation of menses for three or more months in previously regular cycles, or six months in irregular cycles) and may exhibit associated features of hypoestrogenism, such as vasomotor symptoms and accelerated bone loss
