Abstract
THE practitioner of medicine is often confronted with relatively young women who complain of scanty or absent menstruation and infertility. Their desire is primarily to become pregnant and secondarily to have normal menstrual periods. Yet, in the past, physicians have placed much emphasis on merely inducing menstrual bleeding, and too little attention has been directed to the problem of ovulation in these patients. It is the purpose of this communication to evaluate 50 patients treated for secondary amenorrhea in an attempt to draw certain conclusions regarding the production of ovulation and subsequent pregnancy.A very important contribution to our understanding . . .Keywords
