    This study presents a practical, flowchart-guided diagnostic approach for amenorrhea, categorizing patients efficiently. It aids physicians in logical diagnosis, saving time and resources for common causes of amenorrhea.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Diagnostic Algorithms

    Context:

    • Amenorrhea presents a diagnostic challenge for clinicians.
    • Accurate etiological diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
    • Existing diagnostic methods may be time-consuming or costly.

    Purpose:

    • To present a practical, flowchart-based diagnostic strategy for amenorrhea.
    • To categorize patients with amenorrhea into distinct etiological groups.
    • To streamline the diagnostic process for practicing physicians.

    Summary:

    • A diagnostic flowchart was applied to 410 patients with amenorrhea.
    • Patients were classified into five groups: polycystic ovarian disease, hypergonadotropic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea, normogonadotropic amenorrhea, and another instance of hypergonadotropic amenorrhea.
