Causes of amenorrhea

Amenorrhea is usually caused by physiological phenomena, polycystic ovary syndrome, hymen occlusion, uterine fibroids, pituitary tumors, etc.

1. Physiological phenomena:

As age increases, ovarian function will gradually decline, so that the endometrium cannot be shed normally, thus leading to amenorrhea. This situation is a normal phenomenon, there is no need to worry too much, no special treatment is required, and it will not affect health.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome:

It is mainly caused by endocrine disorders in the body. If the estrogen in the body decreases, the endometrium may thicken and fail to shed normally, affecting normal menstruation. In this case, patients need to follow the doctor's advice and take drugs such as progesterone soft capsules, estradiol valerate tablets, and ethinyl estradiol cyproterone tablets.

3. Hymen occlusion:

It is usually caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. If it is partially blocked, menstruation will not flow out normally, which manifests as amenorrhea. In this case, the patient needs to be treated with vaginoplasty.

4. Uterine fibroids:

It is mainly caused by genetic factors, but may also be caused by common bad living habits. Because the tumor grows in the cervix, it can also cause the endometrium to not shed normally, leading to abnormal menstruation. In this case, the patient needs to be treated by tumor resection.

5. Pituitary tumors:

The causes include genetic factors and hypothalamic factors. Because the tumor grows in the pituitary gland, it interferes with the production of sex hormones, reduces the secretion of sex hormones, and affects menstruation. In this case, the patient needs to be treated through transcranial surgery or transsphenoidal surgery.

During the treatment of the disease, bed rest should be the main focus, and regular check-ups should be conducted at the hospital to prevent recurrence of the disease.
