Will amenorrhea cause nipple pain?

Women experiencing amenorrhea may also feel pain in their nipples, which is generally considered a normal, temporary physiological reaction. This occurs because, prior to the cessation of menstruation, the secretion rate of endogenous estrogen decreases, and the breast tissue cannot quickly adapt to this change, leading to breast pain. If the pain persists or becomes severe, it is also important to watch out for pathological diseases, such as breast hyperplasia and other conditions. Do not squeeze the breasts with your hands, avoid wearing tight bras, and timely breast ultrasound examinations should be conducted to guide treatment based on the results.

Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation.

Amenorrhea is a type of endocrine disorder and menstrual irregularity in women. Normally, women have a menstrual period once a month. If there is no menstrual period for three consecutive months, it is medically referred to as amenorrhea. There are physiological and pathological types of amenorrhea. Physiological amenorrhea, such as during pregnancy, is normal when periods stop. Or it could be a physiological abnormality, for example, not having periods for three months during breastfeeding, which is also considered physiological. Pathological amenorrhea commonly includes conditions like intrauterine adhesions or ovarian dysfunction, premature ovarian failure, and so on. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a hospital for relevant examinations and then provide treatment based on the results of those examinations.

How to treat amenorrhea infertility?

Amenorrhea-induced infertility first requires identifying the underlying cause of the amenorrhea. If it is due to intrauterine adhesions, a hysteroscopic adhesion lysis can be performed. After surgery, promoting the development of the endometrium can normalize uterine lining growth and serve a therapeutic function. If the amenorrhea is caused by ovarian secretory dysfunction, adjusting ovarian function can help, as conditions like amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome are caused by amenorrhea and lead to infertility, in which case hormonal regulation can treat infertility. Amenorrhea caused by premature ovarian failure can pose significant treatment challenges if the deterioration is severe. Thus, determining the specific cause of amenorrhea is essential for targeted treatment.
