Common causes of amenorrhea are [[breastfeeding]], [[pregnancy]], [[menopause]], and [[stress]]. Common causes of primary amenorrhea are [[craniopharyngioma]], [[idiopathic gonadotropin deficiency]], [[Kallmann's Syndrome]], [[Mayer-Rokitansky-Hauser Syndrome]], [[Mullerian dysgenesis]], and outflow tract disorders. Common causes of secondary amenorrhea are craniocerebral [[trauma]], [[curettage]], [[Cushing's Syndrome]], [[depression]], [[diabetes mellitus]], and drug side effects. Common causes of functional [[amenorrhea]] are [[stress]], rapid [[weight loss]], and excessive [[exercise]].

===Life Threatening Causes===
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent [[disability]] within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of amenorrhea, however complications resulting from untreated amenorrhea are common.

Overview

Common causes of amenorrhea are breastfeeding, pregnancy, menopause, and stress. Common causes of primary amenorrhea are craniopharyngioma, idiopathic gonadotropin deficiency, Kallmann's Syndrome, Mayer-Rokitansky-Hauser Syndrome, Mullerian dysgenesis, and outflow tract disorders. Common causes of secondary amenorrhea are craniocerebral trauma, curettage, Cushing's Syndrome, depression, diabetes mellitus, and drug side effects. Common causes of functional amenorrhea are stress, rapid weight loss, and excessive exercise.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of amenorrhea, however complications resulting from untreated amenorrhea are common.
