What causes menopause?

There are many factors that can cause menopause. The most common situation is menopause caused by bad lifestyle, followed by menopause caused by disease. At present, the most common factor is bad behavior in life, but the disease factor is the most harmful. The following is an introduction to the causes of menopause:

1. Pituitary gland disease:

The pituitary gland plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle. Postpartum hemorrhage, severe infection, and pituitary tumors can cause pituitary dysfunction, which often manifests as infrequent menstruation or menopause.

2. Systemic diseases:

Such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, severe anemia and thyroid dysfunction.

3. Uterine diseases:

It means that the menstrual regulation function is normal, but the endometrium does not respond to the sex hormones produced by the ovaries, such as congenital uterus, uterine dysplasia and endometrial tuberculosis.

4. Ovarian diseases:

Because the ovaries cannot produce estrogen and progesterone or the hormone levels are very low, they cannot stimulate the growth of the endometrium, so there is no menstruation. For example, congenital ovarian dysgenesis, polycystic ovary syndrome, or when the ovaries are damaged by inflammation or tumors, they can all cause ovarian menopause.

5. Other factors:

Excessive mental stress, fear, anxiety and environmental changes can also cause menopause due to ovulatory disorders by affecting the functions of the central nervous system and hypothalamus.

Menopause can also cause women to feel depressed, irritable and other negative emotions. And it should be noted that menopause is a disease that causes great damage to the patient's body. Long-term menopause can even cause uterine atrophy and other very threatening diseases. Therefore, treatment must be timely.
