You should not take Xiaoyao pills if you have amenorrhea. Amenorrhea refers to a situation where a person who normally menstruates suddenly stops menstruating for more than six months, which is likely considered secondary amenorrhea. Once menstruation stops, it's important to promptly investigate the cause of the cessation. If it occurs around the time of menopause, then it is likely an indication of menopause. If it happens to women of reproductive age, it is crucial to go to the hospital for checks to determine if there are issues like ovarian dysfunction or polycystic ovary syndrome, or even conditions such as pituitary tumors causing the amenorrhea. Treatment should be based on the results of these examinations, and medication should not be taken blindly. It is also advised to avoid catching cold or becoming overtired, and to avoid spicy and irritant foods.

What should I do if my period has been absent for three months?

If a woman does not menstruate for three months, medically this is called amenorrhea. If she is relatively young, it is essential to visit a hospital for relevant examinations. Generally, an ultrasound is conducted first to check the thickness of the endometrial lining and to assess if there are any organic diseases affecting the uterus or ovaries. If the endometrium appears thin and there are no organic diseases, further examinations should include tests for six sex hormones, which are indicators of ovarian function. If the results suggest premature ovarian failure or some endocrine disorders, treatment can be tailored according to these findings. Moreover, if the woman has reached menopausal age and indeed has not menstruated for three months, this condition is considered amenorrhea, which might be physiological. Hence, if an older woman experiences amenorrhea, it is likely true menopausal amenorrhea. Additionally, if a woman who normally has regular menstrual cycles does not menstruate for three months, pregnancy cannot be ruled out, and it is crucial to conduct relevant tests for early pregnancy.

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.

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.
