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.

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.

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.

Maintain a pleasant mood, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and avoid fatigue.

How to regulate amenorrhea to restore menstruation

In the treatment of amenorrhea, systemic treatment plays an important role. It includes active treatment of systemic diseases, improving the overall quality of the body, and then providing adequate nutrition to maintain standard weight. In cases of exercise-induced amenorrhea, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of exercise.

If the amenorrhea is caused by pathological conditions like tumors or polycystic ovary syndrome, then etiological treatment should be given. Once the cause of the disease is identified, appropriate hormonal treatment should be provided to supplement insufficient hormones in the body and counteract excess, aiming to regulate and treat amenorrhea.
