    An 18 year old student presents with a 6 week history of secondary
    amenorrhoea. She has a history of previously regular menses. She is on
    no medication, is of normal stable weight, and no abnormal clinical
    features are noticeable.
    Her FSH level is suppressed, while her LH level reads in the normal
    range.
    a. What common condition explains her status? (5 marks)
    b. What further tests would you perform on this patient, in order to confirm
    your clinical suspicion? (3 marks)
    c. Why is there a discrepancy between the two gonadotrophins? (4 marks)
    d. What other hormonal changes would you expect in this student? (8
    marks)
