Amenorrhea is a condition in a woman during her reproductive age when menstruation becomes totally absent. Amenorrhea has two different stages; the first being primary and second is secondary. The primary stage of amenorrhea is common in an adolescent girl of 14 to 16 years old where menstrual bleeding and other normal sexual development get stranded. This is during the stage of puberty even before the girl has started her periodic cycle. The secondary one is when a lady who has been menstruating all though suddenly stops menstruating. This condition happens in absence of the various reasons responsible for the same like pregnancy, intake of contraceptive pills, lactation or menopause.

Retrograde menstruation is the backward movement of menstrual fluids through the fallopian tubes and into the peritoneal cavity. Although the exact reasons that cause retrograde menstruation to occur are unknown, the condition is believed to be a major cause of endometriosis. Certain signs and symptoms can suggest the occurrence of retrograde menstruation; if symptoms occur, health experts recommend seeing a gynecologist or health care provider.

Endocrine disorders can result from dysfunction originating in the peripheral endocrine gland itself (primary disorders) or from understimulation or overstimulation by the pituitary (secondary disorders). The disorders can result in hormone overproduction (hyperfunction) or underproduction (hypofunction). Rarely, endocrine disorders (usually hypofunction) occur because of abnormal tissue responses to hormones. Clinical presentation of hypofunction disorders is often insidious and nonspecific.

Its prevalence is nearly 10 percent among reproductive-age women and may represent the largest underappreciated segment of the female population at risk for cardiovascular disease.
