How to make a clear diagnosis of late menopause

We must have a clear understanding of the differential diagnosis of menopause. Only by grasping the differential diagnosis of menopause can we help everyone actively diagnose and treat this disease. Next, we will analyze the differential diagnosis of menopause in detail and see how to correctly distinguish this disease.

1. Hypogonadism: Sometimes there is hypothyroidism and adrenal cortex dysfunction, which manifests as menopause, weight loss, fatigue, fear of cold, hypoglycemia, hypotension, low basal metabolism and loss of libido. Sheehan syndrome, which occurs due to ischemic necrosis of anterior pituitary tissue caused by postpartum hemorrhage and shock, is a typical case of secondary anterior pituitary dysfunction.

2. Pituitary tumor: It is also a common cause of pituitary menopause. It can directly destroy the function of the anterior pituitary or disrupt the regulation channel between the hypothalamus and the pituitary, interfering with the secretion and regulation of reproductive hormones, leading to menopause. There are many types of pituitary tumors, such as somatotropinoma, prolactinoma, thyrotropin adenoma, adrenocorticotropic hormone adenoma, mixed tumor of gonadotropin adenoma and non-functional pituitary adenoma. The most common pituitary tumor associated with menopause is prolactinoma.

Regarding the differential diagnosis of menopause, we must analyze the specific situation. Only by grasping the differential diagnosis of menopause can we help everyone actively treat this disease. Finally, it is recommended that everyone must go to a regular hospital to treat this disease.
