Amenorrhea means period termination in three successive cycles or period termination over six months in those who have irregular periods, and oligomenorrhea occurs when delay in period goes over 36 days. "Ehteebas tams or Habs heyz" in Iranian traditional medicine is the equivalent of amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea. The purpose of this paper is to review the anatomic causes of amenorrhea, especially from the perspective of traditional medicine, Avicenna, and comparison with modern medicine. This is a literature review study that investigates views of Avicenna and other reference in Iranian traditional medicine. On the other hand, the contents of modern medicine were collected and compared. Anatomical causes of amenorrhea in aspect of Avicenna and others include: Ratqh, healing the wounds of the uterus, uterine warts, uterine hemorrhoids, uterus protrusion, Mayalan, short size of vagina. These factors were compared with anatomical causes of amenorrhea in modern medicine including: septom of the vagina, Imperforated Haymen, vaginal or cervical or uterine or ovarian hypoplasia or agenesis, Asherman syndrome, cervical stenosis. Many of anatomical causes of amenorrhea in Iranian Traditional medicine is approved in modern medicine but there are also some of the traditional medicine that are not found in modern medicine and today there is need for more research in this area.
