Talk:Amenorrhea

message: Hi Wiki community,
We are a group of Middlebury College undergraduate students working on a project for our Introduction to Neuroscience (NSCI 100) course. We will making modifications during the next few weeks on the Amenorrhea page to provide people with more information on this syndrome. Talk to us with any corrections you think we should make! Thanks! — JoshBerlowitz (talk) and Vrodriguez360 (talk)21:26, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

This Wiki page provides clear and organized information about the topic.  A few areas to improve/expand upon are the hypothalamic section, the drug-induced section.  The hypothalamic section provides a great explanation of the cause but the difference between excessive exercise and weight loss creates some confusion.  It was difficult to distinguish within the paragraph the difference between the processes behind excessive exercise contributing to amenorrhoea and the processes behind weight loss contributing to amenorrhoea.  At the beginning of the paragraph it says there are three causes, however it was hard to separate.  Perhaps if the paragraph was formatted into two or three paragraphs so that the processes were separate there would be more clarity.  It would also be interesting to see more information about stress as a cause; or at least the hormones involved.  
More information in the drug-induced section regarding how drugs, especially contraceptives, cause amenorrhoea would be helpful to this topic.  Is it because they alter hormone levels?  If so, which hormones?  In addition to these sections, a further suggestion for improvement is to define FSH in the initial part of the classification section, as it is pertinent to the information that follows in the table.  A quick explanation of FSH and LH and whether they stimulate or inhibit menstruation at the beginning would also be helpful and increase the readability of the following sections.

message: It may be helpful to give a short description about oligomenorrheoa just to give a little more background on the topic.  You have many internal Wiki links, which is extremely helpful for navigating this topic.  Instead of citing the author’s name within the text, you could solely utilize the References sections and link back to them. The use of the chart delineating the hormonal effects is effective and well organized.  It would also be interesting to examine the social effects this could have on women’s lives and what this means for trying to conceive and give birth.  The etymology could be included in the introduction; it seems unnecessary at the end of the article when a person has already taken the time to learn about this topic.  The history could also be included at the beginning. Your Reference section is well-supported. Cmeagher (talk) 16:35, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi, this article has a lot of useful information. One of the suggestions that I have would be to change the format of some of your in text citations. Rather than putting the authors name in parenthesis, it would be helpful to use superscripts when citing your sources. I also think that it would be useful for you to mention how disorders of the endocrine system can cause amenorrhea. There are also some parts of your article that could be merged together to make the article overall more concise. For example, the paragraphs on diagnosing primary and secondary amenorrhea contain the same type of information and could therefore be merged into one paragraph rather than two. The section on “etymology” probably does not need to have its own paragraph, the etymology can simply be mentioned in the introduction.  Alexandraf51895 (talk) 16:37, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

message: The information on this page is informative and well organized. The chart under the Classification section makes it very easy to understand how the disorders relate to FSH, Primary, and Secondary Amenorrhea. The Hypothamic causes paragraph is very detailed and flows well, but I would add a little more about the  combined oral contraceptive pill and the reasons doctors proscribe it. In the second under Diagnosis, I think it would help to add a link to Secondary Sex Characteristics or provide examples to clarify how they impact the diagnosis of Primary Amenorrhea.

message: Hi Josh and Veronica, Thanks for the thorough job on this topic.  You guys did a nice job of taking the neural route for this disorder and dodging a straight peripheral focus.  Please make sure that you double check the formatting on your references.  User:Midd Intro Neuro  —Preceding undated comment added 14:39, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Really? Secondary amenorrhoea can cause your bladder to re-route itself to your vagina? *skeptical*

message: Why is this not mentioned?  There's a whole wiki page on Lactational amenorrhea and its not even mentioned as I can see.  Breastfeeding releases prolactin that suppresses ovulation and menstruation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.120.206.123 (talk) 03:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I copied a bit from the diagnosis section to the causes section, and made a new section, stress. 
Where does it belong?

message: The section #Low body weight should be renamed, perhaps to Low body fat ratio, or just Fat ratio, or some such.  My understanding is that it's not about the weight, per se, but about the percentage of fat. Also, a woman who's 150cm (4'11") with an average frame will have a lower body weight than a woman who is 180cm (5'11") and an average frame but is no more likely to suffer from amenorrhea, because it's not about low body weight.
