This study tests whether combining traditional Chinese medicine with standard Western treatments can help women with low ovarian reserve (fewer eggs than expected for their age) get pregnant naturally. It may offer a new option for women who have been trying to conceive for at least a year.
This trial tests whether health and lifestyle support can help women restore their periods by addressing the root causes of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (a condition where stress, low energy, or excessive exercise stops ovulation). The goal is to improve hormone function and overall well-being.
This study looks at how physical and stress load from exercise may affect hormone signals that help bring on regular menstrual periods in exercising women. You might benefit by learning more about your hormone and cycle patterns while being monitored through exercise, stress, and at-home measurements.
This registry study is for people who have stopped getting periods due to a condition called functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, which may be linked to low estrogen and ovulation problems. Researchers want to track hormone patterns over time to better understand how the condition develops.
This study tests whether a bone-building medication (romosozumab) combined with estrogen replacement therapy can improve bone density in young women with hypothalamic amenorrhea (missing periods due to low energy or stress). It aims to find a better treatment for low bone density caused by this condition.
This study tests whether a supervised 8-week weightlifting program can help women whose periods have stopped due to stress or intense exercise (not other medical causes). Researchers will compare women with this condition to women with regular periods to see how resistance training affects hormonal health and menstrual function.
