[Amenorrhea paraprimaria--a symptom or disease?].
According to the polish but not foreign manuals of gynecology the women with menarche provoked by hormones are qualified as the paraprimary amenorrhoic patients. Our study demonstrate that menarche in the lot of subsequently normally menstruating and delivered women was provoked by hormones. For that reason it was possible to qualified into the above mentioned paraprimary amenorrhoic group the only patients with permanently evoked menstruations. The numerous and heterogenous causes of the appearance amenorrhoea paraprimaria and secundaria are similar in both groups as well as serious disorders and results of the therapy. The clinical usefulness this classification is conditional upon the changes in qualification of the patients. The name amenorrhoea primaria would be reserved only for patients with permanently induced menstruation.
