What are the causes of menopause?

Generally speaking, menopause only occurs in postmenopausal women and during pregnancy, but some gynecological diseases can lead to menopause. There are two types of menopause: primary and secondary. Primary generally refers to women who have not had menstruation after the age of 18; secondary menopause refers to menstruation, but not for more than 3 months without pregnancy. There are many reasons for menopause. So, what are the common causes of menopause? Let's take a look:

1. Atresia of the lower reproductive tract: such as the cervix, vagina, hymen, labia, etc., acquired injuries can also cause adhesions and cause atresia. Although the patient has menstruation, the menstrual blood cannot flow out. This situation can be cured through treatment.

2. Physical illness: There are many causes of menopause due to physical illness, such as moderate tuberculosis, malnutrition, severe anemia, etc. There are also some endocrine disorders, such as adrenal, thyroid, pancreatic and other functional disorders. These reasons can cause women to not have menstruation. These conditions need to be regulated, and menstruation will come naturally.

3. Incomplete or poorly developed reproductive organs: such as congenital absence of vagina, congenital absence of uterus, congenital absence of ovaries or poorly developed ovaries, etc., which result in the body being unable to produce estrogen and progesterone, which means that the endometrium cannot undergo cyclical changes and there will be no menstruation. If there is a patient with congenital absence of uterus, even if the ovaries function normally, there will be no menstruation.

4. Pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction: The pituitary gland is an important part of the body that secretes gonadotropin. Gonadotropin regulates ovarian function and maintains menstruation. If the pituitary gland is dysfunctional, it will affect the secretion of gonadotropin, which in turn affects ovarian function and causes menopause. In addition, abnormal hypothalamic function can also cause menopause.

5. Tuberculous endometritis: If the endometrium is invaded by tuberculosis bacteria and becomes inflamed and damaged, the formation of scar tissue may also lead to menopause.

What are the common causes of menopause? If female friends find that they are experiencing menopause, they should go to the hospital to find out the cause in time. Many gynecological diseases can lead to menopause, mainly endocrine diseases. Therefore, I hope that friends can regulate their endocrine system and understand how to prevent menopause, so as to do a good job of prevention.
