Trenaman only recently finished her Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) campaign with Sydney Thunder, which she juggled with her year 12 school commitments at Kooringal High School.
The 18-year-old will stand down from the Australia A squad and be rested from NSW Breakers' Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) season.
Sydney Thunder acting general manager Chris Botherway said Trenaman has the full support of the Thunder, Cricket NSW and Cricket Australia.
"Rachel is a highly thought of young person who has the respect of her teammates, coaches and support staff at Sydney Thunder and NSW Breakers," Botherway said.
"Player health and wellbeing will always be our top priority and we will provide Rachel with all the time and support she needs to make a full recovery."
NSW Breakers coach Dom Thornely applauded Trenaman for having the courage to prioritise her health.
"We're proud that Rachel was brave enough to speak up, and we're here for her," he said.
"I know the cricket family is right behind her and we wish her the very best."
