If nausea occurs after menopause, it's important to determine whether the menopause is physiological or pathological. Generally, menopause after the age of 55 is considered physiological, but if it occurs before the age of 55, the cause of the menopause should be considered, such as ovarian diseases. If nausea occurs with menopause, attention should be paid to adjusting the diet, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and consuming vitamin- and protein-rich foods. Maintain a pleasant mood, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and avoid fatigue.

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 regulate amenorrhea for one year?

If a woman under 40 experiences amenorrhea for a year, it is advisable to check the six sex hormones. If there is an increase in luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, it indicates menopause. However, menopause before 40 is called premature ovarian failure, and hormone replacement therapy is needed. This treatment can delay aging in women and improve post-menopausal symptoms. If menopause occurs after the age of 40, it is a natural state. Every woman will go through menopause, and if menopausal symptoms occur, hormone replacement therapy can also be used.

Women generally experience menopause at what age?

The average age of menopause for women in our country is generally around 49 years old. Before menopause, some people may experience irregular periods for about two to three years, a period also known as the perimenopause. Some may have periods once every two or three months until they gradually cease, reaching menopause. Others might experience increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, and shorter cycles. Thus, generally, women around 48 or 49 years of age, if experiencing irregular periods, should consider that they are nearing menopause and should pay attention to menopausal care. After menopause at the age of 49, some may experience symptoms of menopause. Therefore, the average age of menopause in our country is around 49 years old.

What are the symptoms of amenorrhea?

The most typical clinical presentation of amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation and cessation of menstrual periods. There are many causes of amenorrhea, such as exposure to cold, fatigue, medications, diseases, bacterial infections, and poor emotional states, all of which can lead to hormonal imbalances and result in amenorrhea. Additionally, amenorrhea may occur after sustained physical activity, which is related to the individual's psychological state, stress response level, and a decline in physical condition. If there is a weight loss of 10%-15%, or a 30% decrease in physical condition, amenorrhea may occur. If amenorrhea occurs, dietary adjustments can be made, such as avoiding picky and partial eating, avoiding intense exercise, and consciously increasing the intake of high-protein, high-calorie foods. This is beneficial for the production and transformation of hormones and maintaining normal menstruation. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention should be sought promptly.

Can amenorrhea undergo IVF?

Whether amenorrhea is suitable for IVF depends firstly on the cause of the amenorrhea. If the amenorrhea is due to ovarian failure, with an AMH value less than 1, indicating diminished ovarian function, IVF would not be successful in this scenario. However, if the AMH, indicating ovarian reserve, is greater than 1 and the amenorrhea is caused by hormonal imbalances, then IVF can be considered. If the amenorrhea is due to uterine adhesions, adhesion dissection can be performed. If, following the dissection, the endometrium develops well and the adhesions are treated, IVF can be considered. Moreover, if the amenorrhea is associated with conditions like galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome or polycystic ovarian syndrome, which are also due to hormonal imbalances, adjusting hormone levels to normal can also make IVF a viable option. Therefore, whether IVF is possible with amenorrhea depends on identifying the cause of the amenorrhea, and decisions can be made based on that.
