My daughter got her first menstruation at the age of 14. She had 2 or 3 bleeds and that was it. Now she is almost 18 years old, she has been to 5 gynecologists, an endocrinologist, she has done hormone tests, blood tests, urine tests and everything is normal, but I have the impression that something is wrong. One doctor tells us to wait, the other prescribed hormones that we are afraid to use, another sent them to the endocrinologist, and the latter returned to the gynecologist. I am slowly losing faith in doctors, and this is probably not a very strange case. I started looking for myself and many of the symptoms are similar to those in the case of hyperthyroidism. Is this the right direction. The daughter has stress problems, difficulty falling asleep, has experienced panic attacks, high temperature intolerance, fainting, dry skin, contact allergy to nickel, stool every 3-4 days.
From what you wrote, as you can only guess, it appears that hormonal disorders are a very likely cause of amenorrhea. Hormonal disorders rarely regress on their own, most often requiring treatment, which may last variously long. You should not be afraid of hormones. It seems that a specialist gynecologist and endocrinologist will be the most suitable doctor for a daughter. Thyroid disease is the easiest way to confirm or rule out a TSH test.
