Amenorrhea is a condition that occurs when a woman reaches the age of childbearing but does not begin menstruating. Menstruation typically occurs between 23 and 35 days after a woman's last period. The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that is responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle. The hypothalamus is responsible for pituitary gland stimulation. At the very bottom of the brain, just below the hypothalamus, is where you'll find the pituitary gland. The female reproductive cycle is controlled by the pituitary gland, which secretes two hormones into the bloodstream. LH and FSH are the abbreviations for luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, respectively (FSH).
