Objective: To identify menstrual disorders in teenage patients attending to comprehensive care consultation at the Hospital Regional Lic. Adolfo Lopez Mateos.
Patients and method: A retrospective study was performed in the comprehensive care clinic for Adolescents from the Hospital Regional Adolfo Lopez Mateos, since January 1st2012 to January 1st 2013. Outstanding data were reviewed of clinical records.
Results: The main cause of consultation in 68 patients (76%) was menstrual cycle disorder. Opsomenorrhea was the most frequent manifestation in 47 patients (69.1%), followed by polymenorrhea in 15 patients (22%). In 9 patients (10%) high levels of prolactin were found.
