Treatment depends on the cause of the amenorrhea .
Pituitary tumors are usually treated with bromocriptine, a drug that inhibits prolactin secretion. Surgery removal may also be suggested. Radiation therapy is usually reserved for situations where other medical or surgical treatment regimens are not successful. Young women with primary amenorrhea, found to be caused by developmental abnormalities, may require hormonal supplementation, surgery, or both. In any case, psychosocial support and counseling for the patient and family is necessary to address specific concerns and provide guidance regarding anticipated sexual development.
