What are the symptoms of amenorrhea in women

Normal amenorrhea does not cause much harm to the body and generally does not require treatment, but secondary amenorrhea requires treatment. You cannot just take some medicine casually. It will not solve the actual problem and may cause other diseases. We must seek timely treatment, receive regular examinations, and follow the doctor's advice. Experts summarize the symptoms of amenorrhea:

The following symptoms are common:

1. Symptoms such as infertility, hirsutism, and obesity are mostly caused by ovarian dysfunction.

2. Symptoms such as fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, and syncope are mostly caused by insufficient secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone.

3. Symptoms such as decreased libido, breast atrophy, loss of axillary and pubic hair, and infertility are mostly caused by insufficient secretion of gonadotropin.

4. Symptoms such as chills, pale and dry skin, bradycardia, low blood pressure, slow reaction, drowsiness, dementia, and apathy are mostly caused by insufficient secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone.

5. Obesity, hirsutism or giant deformity, acromegaly, hypertension, rough skin, polycythemia, etc. are mostly caused by pituitary tumors.
