No: You will have to discuss with your doctor why you developed secondary amenorrhea in the first place. If underweight is the cause, nutritional focus is the solution.

Thanks for asking!: Hypothalamic and pituitary disorders have low levels of gonadotropin and estrogen.Hgh has not been indicated for treatment of secondary amenorrhea. In cases of turner's syndrome where recombinent hgh along with estrogen is used as part of standard treatment but not for amenorrhea per say.
