Generally, amenorrhea can be managed effectively. Clinically, the most typical symptoms of amenorrhea are the absence of menstruation and the cessation of menstrual periods. There are many causes of amenorrhea, which may include exposure to cold, fatigue, emotional stress, bacterial infections, medications, and diseases, all leading to hormonal imbalances in the body.

Dietary adjustments can be made to manage amenorrhea, such as avoiding picky and imbalanced eating, consciously increasing the intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods, which is beneficial for hormone production and conversion, and maintaining regular menstruation. It is also important to keep a cheerful mood to avoid disturbances in the flow of energy and blood, leading to irregular menstruation, as well as maintaining reasonable work and rest schedules, avoiding staying up late, and ensuring that the body's biological clock functions normally.

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.)

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.

Is amenorrhea a disease?

Amenorrhea is first divided into physiological or pathological. If it is physiological, it generally is not a major issue, but pathological cases must be treated symptomatically. For physiological amenorrhea, such as not menstruating for three months during the breastfeeding period, this is normal. It's mainly influenced by the secretion of prolactin from the ovaries, so it’s possible not to have menstruation during breastfeeding, and this is not a problem. Moreover, some people use medications, such as those used to treat endometriosis, which can cause amenorrhea; this type of amenorrhea is normal, and menstruation usually resumes after stopping the medication. Then there is pathological amenorrhea, typically seen with severe conditions like uterine endometrium or intrauterine adhesions, which can also cause a lack of menstruation. Additionally, ovarian secretory dysfunction, certain endocrine disorders, or premature ovarian failure, can all lead to amenorrhea, requiring related medical examinations and symptomatic treatment in a hospital.

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.
