After menopause, the amount of vaginal discharge will significantly decrease, but a small amount of discharge may still be present, which is a normal phenomenon. Due to the significant reduction or disappearance of estrogen secretion after menopause, the secretions from the vagina and cervix will significantly decrease, thus reducing vaginal discharge. However, if there is an increase in discharge, a change to a yellow color, and itching of the vulva, it could be due to vaginitis, which requires prompt medical examination and treatment since vaginitis is relatively common in the elderly.

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.

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.
