Explanation
Question 4
A 25 year old medical student attends the gynaecology clinic because she has not had a period for 12 months. Menarche was at the age of 13 and she is otherwise asymptomatic and healthy. Her BMI is 19 and she is a member of the rowing team, practising 5 times a week. She denies any recent weight loss or abnormal eating behaviour and has normal secondary sexual characteristics. Random endocrine profile is as follows: FSH = 5.5mIU/ml, LH = 4.0mIU/ml, progesterone = 1.2ng/ml, prolactin = 56ng/ml, testosterone = 1.2pg/ml. Thyroid function tests and pelvic ultrasound scan are normal.
In hypothalamic amenorrhoea there is decreased GnRH & consequently reduced FSH, but in this woman FSH is 5.5 & not hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism ?? Is her serum prolactin level normal? so why does she has hyperprolactineamia?? Is it because hypothalamus is not working properly so dopamin is not produced??

The woman has a regular and normal 28 day cycle, her BMI is 26 and she has no other symptoms.
