title: [Amenorrhoea after oral contraceptives].
abstract: Eleven women with amenorrhoea after taking oral contraceptives were studied.  A clomiphene stimulation test was performed in ten, with six also having an LH-RH stimulation test.  In most of them there was no reaction or a severely impaired response to both clomiphene and LH-RH, but bleeding episodes could be provoked in most women by continuing clomiphene treatment, and some of these ovulated when HCG was added to the therapeutic scheme.  A possible relationship between preexisting psychosomatic disorders and the genesis of postcontraceptive amenorrhoea is discussed.
