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.

How to treat amenorrhea?

Amenorrhea is generally defined in medicine as a condition where menstruation stops for three consecutive months. There are physiological and pathological types of amenorrhea. Physiological amenorrhea, such as not menstruating during breastfeeding or pregnancy, is considered normal and does not require medication for treatment. Pathological amenorrhea usually occurs when someone who normally has regular periods suddenly stops menstruating for three months. In such cases, it is essential to visit a hospital for relevant examinations and then treat accordingly based on the results. Common issues include ovarian dysfunction, premature ovarian failure, and elevated prolactin levels, all of which can lead to amenorrhea. Treatment should be chosen based on the examination results.

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.

Is amenorrhea related to the kidneys?

Generally, amenorrhea is not greatly related to the kidneys. The most typical clinical presentation of amenorrhea is the absence or cessation of menstrual periods. There are many reasons that can cause amenorrhea, such as being chilled, fatigue, emotions, bacterial infections, medications, and diseases that lead to hormonal imbalances in the body. If amenorrhea occurs, it can be managed through dietary adjustments. Eating a balanced diet, without being picky or selective, consciously increasing intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods can be beneficial for hormone production and conversion, maintaining normal menstruation. Additionally, it is important to keep a cheerful mood to avoid causing disruptions in qi and blood. If dietary adjustments are insufficient, it is necessary to visit a hospital to check the underlying causes.

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.
