FHA can have long and short term consequences in a patient's reproductive development and fertility. Anovulation and amenorrhea is the characteristic feature of FHA. [3] If hypoestrogenism and impaired HPO axis occurs during puberty, primary amenorrhea occurs. [4] If the impairment occurs after puberty, secondary amenorrhea occurs, which is ...
The underlying cause is due to the defective migration of GNRH neurons from olfactory placode to hypothalamus, leading to congenital GNRH deficiency. This leads to olfactory problems such as anosmia, optic defects like color blindness, and results in hypothalmic deficiencies associated with low levels of LH, affecting sex hormone testosterone in males or estrogen and progesterone in females.
Hyperandrogenism is a medical condition characterized by high levels of androgens.It is more common in women than men. [4] Symptoms of hyperandrogenism may include acne, seborrhea, hair loss on the scalp, increased body or facial hair, and infrequent or absent menstruation.

[19]
