Abstract

Primary amenorrhea is a term used to describe the absence of menstruation in girls who are young and have not yet become fertile. Every girl has primary amenorrhea from the moment she is born until the moment she gets her first period. However, if a girl has had primary amenorrhea for too long and has not become fertile even though she is well into her teenage years, this could be a problem.
