Menstrual disorders in adolescence
Abstract
Problems associated with menstruation affect 75% of adolescent females and are a leading reason for visits to physicians. This chapter begins with a review of the timing and characteristics of normal menstruation during adolescence. It then discusses the evaluation and management of adolescents with amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea and abnormal uterine bleeding. An approach to adolescent amenorrhoea is presented that utilizes primary versus secondary amenorrhoea, delayed versus normal pubertal development, and the presence or absence of hyperandrogenism as nodal points for decision making. The differential diagnosis of dysmenorrhoea and the management of primary dysmenorrhoea and endometriosis are reviewed. The section on abnormal uterine bleeding contrasts anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) with bleeding secondary to problems of pregnancy, uterine pathology, exogenous hormone use and systemic bleeding disorders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
