Treatments vary based on the underlying condition. Key issues are problems of surgical correction if appropriate, estrogen therapy (if estrogen levels are low), and fertility.
For those who do not plan to have biological children, treatment may be unnecessary if the underlying cause of the amenorrhoea is not threatening to her health.
A woman is unable to conceive while she is amenorrhoeic, but 'athletic' and drug-induced amenorrhoea has no effect on long term fertility as long as menstruation can recommence. The best way to treat 'athletic' amenorrhoea is to decrease the amount and intensity of exercise. Similarly, to treat drug-induced amenorrhoea, stopping the medication on the advice of a doctor is a usual course of action.
