Amenorrhea


Can you get pregnant if your period has stopped?
If amenorrhea occurs, it can lead to infertility, accounting for 25%-35% of female infertility. Common causes of amenorrhea include cerebral disease, pituitary disorders, ovarian disorders, and endocrine diseases. These factors can all lead to amenorrhea. If amenorrhea occurs and there is a desire for children, it is recommended to seek prompt and comprehensive examination at a reproductive hospital. Treatment should be systematically adjusted according to the specific cause, which can effectively improve ovulation and restore normal menstruation, thereby increasing the normal fertility rate. There are many reasons for female infertility, and a comprehensive examination is necessary. Any factor can affect normal pregnancy, making infertility a very complex disease.


Can amenorrhea be treated with Xiaoyao pills?
You should not take Xiaoyao pills if you have amenorrhea. Amenorrhea refers to a situation where a person who normally menstruates suddenly stops menstruating for more than six months, which is likely considered secondary amenorrhea. Once menstruation stops, it's important to promptly investigate the cause of the cessation. If it occurs around the time of menopause, then it is likely an indication of menopause. If it happens to women of reproductive age, it is crucial to go to the hospital for checks to determine if there are issues like ovarian dysfunction or polycystic ovary syndrome, or even conditions such as pituitary tumors causing the amenorrhea. Treatment should be based on the results of these examinations, and medication should not be taken blindly. It is also advised to avoid catching cold or becoming overtired, and to avoid spicy and irritant foods.


Is it normal to have menopause at 41?
Menopause occurring at 41 years old generally warrants a visit to the hospital for an examination. Normally, the average age for menopause is between 45 and 55 years old. Menopause before 40 years old, due to ovarian function issues, is usually considered premature ovarian failure. At 41, it is important to investigate the causes of menopause. The most common cause is typically a decline or failure in ovarian function. After ovarian function decline at 41, if there are no contraindications, hormone replacement therapy is usually recommended. Besides the ovaries, certain diseases of the uterus can also lead to menopause. Therefore, menopause at 41 is not considered normal.


What tests are required for amenorrhea?
Amenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological diseases, and it usually requires an ultrasound and a sex hormone panel test. Testing the sex hormone panel should be done by drawing blood on an empty stomach in the morning, three to five days after the onset of menstruation, for more accurate results. After identifying the cause, treatment should be targeted accordingly. There are many reasons for amenorrhea in women, such as poor lifestyle habits, excessive fasting for weight loss, malnutrition, and kidney deficiency, all of which can cause this condition. Amenorrhea can lead to disturbances in the ovulation cycle and, in severe cases, prevent the development of follicles, causing infertility in women.


Can you get pregnant with menstrual disorder and amenorrhea?
When women experience menstrual disorders such as amenorrhea, most of them are unable to conceive. This is because the ovarian secretion of hormones is abnormal during this period, and there is an ovulation obstacle, usually resulting in the absence of eggs. Thus, sexual intercourse during this time generally does not lead to conception. However, a very small number of women may experience occasional ovulation during amenorrhea. If they have normal sexual relations without contraception during this time, conception could still occur. Nonetheless, many women have abnormal hormone levels during amenorrhea, so even if pregnancy occurs, the abnormal hormone levels in early pregnancy could lead to complications such as missed abortion and miscarriage. It is recommended that women who want to conceive should first undergo regular treatment to restore normal menstrual cycles and resume ovulation before actively trying to conceive.


Can anterior pelvic tilt cause amenorrhea?
Anterior pelvic tilt is a condition observed in some women where the tilt of the pelvis becomes abnormal. In most cases, anterior pelvic tilt does not cause amenorrhea. If a patient experiences amenorrhea, it is advised that they seek consultation at the gynecology department of their local hospital to perform relevant examinations and tests to determine the cause of the amenorrhea. Clinically, there are various potential causes of amenorrhea that need to be ruled out one by one. Then, based on the identified cause of the amenorrhea, a targeted treatment plan can be developed. Generally, anterior pelvic tilt does not affect amenorrhea.


How to regulate amenorrhea with no vaginal discharge?
Amenorrhea without vaginal discharge is a normal physiological phenomenon. Amenorrhea occurs due to ovarian failure, which results in no normal ovulation and a significant decrease in estrogen levels, or very low levels of estrogen. Consequently, the secretions from the cervix and vagina decrease, leading to an absence of vaginal discharge—a normal occurrence that does not require intervention. However, if there is an increase in vaginal discharge after amenorrhea, or if the discharge is abnormally colored and accompanied by itching of the vulva, it could indicate vaginitis, which would require prompt examination and treatment. Therefore, the absence of vaginal discharge following amenorrhea does not require intervention.


Can you get pregnant after menopause?
If menstruation has already ceased, it is generally not possible to become pregnant. This is because after menopause, ovarian function has essentially declined, and there is no regular secretion of estrogen and progesterone. Thus, there is no development and presence of mature follicles, making pregnancy highly unlikely. Currently, symptoms can only be addressed by utilizing assisted reproductive technologies. If menstruation ceases before the typical age of menopause, early ovarian failure should be considered, and appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures should be taken.


How to quickly induce menstruation when it has stopped.
Women with amenorrhea should first undergo a blood and urine HCG test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. After excluding pregnancy, it is generally necessary to check the female sex hormone levels and thyroid function. Sometimes, specific diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, and premature ovarian failure can cause amenorrhea, and these specific diseases should be treated accordingly to induce menstruation. For polycystic ovary syndrome, treatment often involves the use of oral contraceptives to induce menstruation; for hyperprolactinemia, treatment typically involves the use of bromocriptine; for premature ovarian failure, estrogen-progestogen cycle replacement is usually prescribed. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)


Can amenorrhea undergo IVF?
There are many causes of amenorrhea in women in our country, with the most common causes being hypothalamic disorders, pituitary disorders, and ovarian disorders. Other endocrine diseases, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia and thyroid dysfunction, can also lead to ovulation disorders and the symptoms of amenorrhea. If amenorrhea occurs and there is a desire for childbirth, it is advisable to seek timely medical treatment at a professional reproductive hospital. This allows for systematic regulation of menstruation and comprehensive treatment based on the specific causes of amenorrhea, aiming to possibly enhance fertility and improve our infertile condition.
