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.

How to deal with amenorrhea and nausea?

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.

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. For amenorrhea caused by stress and psychological reasons, patient psychological therapy should be conducted to eliminate mental tension and anxiety. 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.

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.

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.
