GPT 3.5
Primary amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation by the age of 16, in girls who have not yet started their menstrual cycles, or by the age of 14, in girls who haven't developed secondary sexual characteristics. It is typically caused by conditions such as genetic abnormalities, anatomical abnormalities of the reproductive organs, hormonal imbalances, or certain chronic illnesses.
Secondary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstrual periods in women who had been previously menstruating. Specifically, it is defined as the absence of menstruation for at least three consecutive months in women who had regular menstrual cycles before. It can be caused by factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, contraceptive use, hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive exercise, certain medical conditions, or certain medications.
