title: [Modern aspects of aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment of secondary amenorrhoea (author's transl)].
abstract: Better understanding of underlying pathophysiological conditions as well as the availability of sensitive techniques for hormonal analysis have enabled more accurate differential diagnosis and more systematic treatment of the various forms of amenorrhoea. An account is given of the causes of secondary amenorrhoea, with particular reference being made to hyperprolactinaemic amenorrhoea. Proposals are made for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in practice.
