Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation or absence of periods. Women normally do not menstruate before puberty, during pregnancy, and after menopause. There are two types of amenorrhea: primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is when a young woman has not had her first period by the age of 16. Secondary amenorrhea is when a woman who has had normal menstrual cycles stops getting her monthly period for 3 or more months. Many conditions that cause amenorrhea have other serious complications: for example, polycystic ovary syndrome is associated not only with infertility but also with a higher risk for uterine cancer, heart disease and diabetes; hypothyroidism, another common cause of amenorrhea, carries serious physical and mental risks; amenorrhea associated with reduced estrogen levels increases the risk for osteoporosis.

Chinese herbal medicine improves hormonal imbalances that can be associated with amenorrhea and related conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In a number of preliminary trials, TCM has been shown to induce ovulation in women with disorders involving lack of ovulation. Preliminary studies show that levels of estrogen and progesterone, as well as levels of the related hormones LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), may all be affected by TCM.
