Abstract
Total urinary gonadotropins, plasma luteinizing hormone (LH), and plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured in normal women and in 234 patients with primary and secondary amenorrhea and retrospectively correlated with the presence or absence of ovarian follicles. Total urinary gonadotropin levels and plasma LH values were greater in patients without follicles than in patients with follicles and normal women, but the degree of overlap prohibited reliable diagnosis in any individual patient. However, plasma FSH values reliably predicted the presence or absence of ovarian follicles in women with either primary or secondary amenorrhea.
