title: [Analysis of cause and test treatment of amenorrhea in teenagers].
abstract: The population of 49 young, secondary amenorrheic women aged 17 to 20 was divided according to reaction on i.m. injection of progesterone in oil. The positive category was subdivided into I--polycystic ovarian disease with elevated serum LH and II--hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction (HPD) with normal (or decreased) level of LH. The negative category consists of subgroup, III--hypothalamic-pituitary failure (HPF) with normal or low serum FSH and IV--ovarian failure with elevated level of FSH (two patients were noted). The bleeding response was obtain in two third of the patients, and also two third of them ovulated after clomiphene citrate treatment, including all six women with POC. The ovulatory response in patients with hypothalamic pituitary failure was noted in more than 40%. The low concentration of serum FSH (below 5 mU/ml) was more frequent in HPF (57%) in comparison with HPD (48%). The resistance to clomiphene citrate treatment was correspondingly 62.5% and 70%. When the ovulation occurred no difference in the regular function of corpus luteum in POC, HPD and HPF patients was noted.
