In 23 years of medical practice, I've never heard the term 'menolipsis'. That's the point I was making.
When you have a patient with amenorrhoea (for one month or 10 years), you can't tell if it's menolipsis or not until/unless she gets another period. It's necessarily a term you can only use in hindsight: "She went for a period of three months with menolipsis/amenorrhea last year." I can't see that the term has any benefit over 'amenorrhoea', and Australian doctors and US and British Obstetric textbooks don't use the term. That's why I was wondering where NewHope found it.
Well, you should know!! But for info, I searched it and found it here and here. However, it doesn't come up in the online OED now that I've checked. I only searched for it because it had been posted here. I'd certainly never heard of it before - understandably as I have absolutely no days of medical practice, let alone years!
