RESUMEN
La prevalencia de trastornos menstruales en los primeros años posmenarca es alta; suele ser un motivo de preocupación para los padres y una causa frecuente de consulta pediátrica. En la mayoría de los casos se debe a la inmadurez del eje hipotálamo-hipófiso-ovárico (HHO), la primera manifestación de una alteración general, orgánica o emocional, ya que el ciclo menstrual es un indicador sensible de salud. En este artículo se revisa la fisiología del ciclo menstrual, sus alteraciones, etiología, valoración, diagnóstico y tratamiento.
ABSTRACT
The high prevalence of menstrual disorders during the first years after menarche is well recognized. This is usually a cause of concern for parents and patients, and a common reason forvisiting the pediatrician. The immaturity of the hypothalamic-pituitaryovarianaxis is the major cause of these disorders, but there are also some general organic or emotional conditions that may alter the menstrual cycle, which is a sensitive indicator of health. Physiology of the menstrual cycle, its alterations, etiology, assessment, diagnosis and treatment are reviewed in this article.
