Amenorrhea Prognosis

Amenorrhea is typically not a life-threatening condition. The prognosis for amenorrhea depends upon the underlying cause and the type of treatment that is available. For most women, medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery can correct amenorrhea.

Amenorrhea has been associated with reduced bone density and increased fracture rates.
