Is it necessary to treat menopause?

When women reach menopause, they will naturally experience menopause. Proper conditioning in the early stages of menopause will not cause harm to the body, but menopause during menopause may also be related to disease. Women tend to relax their vigilance when they reach menopause. Before menstruation stops, women should pay attention to menstrual problems. Active diagnosis and treatment are required if menopause occurs at any time.

Experts remind that women who stop menstruating before the age of 40 are considered to have premature ovarian failure. Among women with premature ovarian failure, most are managers, white-collar workers, and corporate managers who have irregular menstruation due to work pressure, insufficient sleep, fatigue, and staying up late, or even premature menstruation. In addition, many young women also experience premature menstruation due to weight loss, unreasonable diet structure, crazy exercise, and no eating. It is recommended that women go to the hospital for examination to determine whether treatment is needed.

Conditions that require treatment

(1) Uterine causes. Also called uterine menopause. Amenorrhea is caused by uterine problems, such as congenital absence of the uterus, uterine hypoplasia, or childhood diseases that affect the endometrium, causing adhesions or scars. Although the ovaries function well and female characteristics develop normally, there is no menstruation. Secondary amenorrhea occurs when a disease occurs after menarche, such as endometrial tuberculosis, endometrial schistosomiasis, endometrial suppuration, or the basal layer of the endometrium is scraped off during curettage, resulting in failure to respond to ovarian hormones.

(2) Ovarian causes. Also known as ovarian menopause. Normal menstruation occurs because the hormones secreted by the ovaries act on the endometrium, causing it to change, then shed and bleed. If the ovaries cannot secrete hormones, the endometrium will not change and menstruation will stop naturally, such as congenital ovarian hypoplasia and premature ovarian failure. Amenorrhea caused by this reason is often accompanied by poor development of female characteristics or degeneration of characteristics, such as equalization of breasts.

(3) Pituitary causes. This is called pituitary menopause. The pituitary gland is located below the brain. It is very small, but it controls the endocrine organs throughout the body. When the pituitary function changes, the ovarian function decreases. Common pituitary diseases are tumors and hypopituitarism.

(4) Central nervous system causes. The central nervous system includes the brain and hypothalamus, which command the activities of the pituitary gland and indirectly control the function of the ovaries. When the central nervous system is stimulated, the ovarian function changes and causes amenorrhea. For example, amenorrhea may occur suddenly when one is heartbroken, loses a loved one, or fails at work. It can also be caused by a hypothalamic tumor.

Amenorrhea caused by disease needs to be treated, but if it is physiological menopause, you don’t have to worry, it will recover quickly as long as you make timely adjustments.
