Synthesizing the latest guideline-based recommendations for the management of female hypogonadism

Abstract

Over the past year, three new key guidelines have been published in the area of female hypogonadism, one from the Society for Endocrinology covering the full spectrum of causes of female hypogonadism in adult life, which will form the core of this review; another solely covering premature ovarian insufficiency from a consortium comprising the International Menopause Society (IMS), the European Society of Human Reproduction & Embryology (ESHRE) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) that updates the 2016 ESHRE guidance, and a third covering Turner syndrome across all stages of life from the International Turner Syndrome Consensus Group. In this review, we aim to synthesize the key elements from all of these documents, providing a timely update for clinicians managing affected women.
