Abstract

Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) impairs the attainment of peak bone mass and as such can increase the risk of fractures later in life. To document available treatment strategies, we conducted a systematic review of the literature. We report that hormonal therapies have limited effectiveness in increasing bone mass, whereas increased caloric intake resulting in weight gain and/or resumption of menses is an essential strategy for restoring bone mass in women with FHA. Women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) may not achieve peak bone mass (PBM), which increases the risk of stress fractures, and may increase the risk of osteoporotic fractures in later life. To identify effective treatment strategies for women with FHA, we conducted a systematic review of the literature. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cross-sectional studies, and case studies that reported on the effects of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions on bone mineral density (BMD) or bone turnover in women with FHA. Most published studies (n=26) were designed to treat the hormonal abnormalities observed in women with FHA (such as low estrogen, leptin, insulin-like growth factor-1, and DHEA); however none of these treat...Continue Reading
