Primary amenorrhea, the absence of menstruation by age 15, can have significant implications for reproductive health and overall well-being. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various management strategies for primary amenorrhea among women of reproductive age in Saudi Arabia. Medical records of 63 eligible patients from 2018 to 2023 were analyzed, assessing diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and associated outcomes. The findings revealed that hormonal therapy was the most commonly employed management strategy (50.0%) and demonstrated the highest rate of achieving menstrual regularity (62.5%). Surgical interventions were utilized in 28.1% of cases, with a 50.0% rate of symptom resolution. Lifestyle modifications were less frequent (21.9%) but showed a moderate rate of symptom resolution (35.7%). Logistic regression analysis identified age, underlying etiology, and management strategy as significant predictors of treatment success. Subgroup analyses highlighted the efficacy of hormonal therapy and lifestyle modifications for genetic etiologies, while surgical interventions were more effective for anatomical causes. The study underscores the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach and personalized treatment plans tailored to individual patient characteristics. Despite limitations, the findings contribute to the understanding of optimal management strategies for primary amenorrhea and emphasize the need for multidisciplinary collaboration in addressing this complex condition.
原发性闭经是指到15岁仍无月经初潮,这可能对生殖健康和整体幸福感产生重大影响。这项回顾性研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯育龄妇女原发性闭经各种管理策略的有效性。分析了2018年至2023年63例符合条件患者的病历,评估诊断方法、治疗方式及相关结果。研究结果显示,激素治疗是最常用的管理策略(50.0%),且实现月经规律的比例最高(62.5%)。28.1%的病例采用了手术干预,症状缓解率为50.0%。生活方式调整的使用频率较低(21.9%),但症状缓解率适中(35.7%)。逻辑回归分析确定年龄、潜在病因和管理策略是治疗成功的重要预测因素。亚组分析强调了激素治疗和生活方式调整对遗传病因的疗效,而手术干预对解剖学原因更有效。该研究强调了全面诊断方法和根据个体患者特征制定个性化治疗方案的重要性。尽管存在局限性,但这些发现有助于理解原发性闭经的最佳管理策略,并强调在应对这一复杂病症时多学科协作的必要性。
