Why should we not take amenorrhea lightly?

Amenorrhea is a common gynecological symptom, not a disease. Medically, primary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation after the age of 18. Secondary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation for more than 3 months after the normal menstruation.

There are many reasons for amenorrhea, which are complicated. It can be caused by many systemic or local organic or functional changes, or it can be a precursor to certain diseases, so it should not be taken lightly. However, amenorrhea before puberty, during pregnancy, lactation, and after menopause is a normal physiological phenomenon.

After menopause, women must go to a regular hospital for a detailed and systematic gynecological examination and B-ultrasound examination as soon as possible. If necessary, a diagnostic curettage and sex hormone test should be performed; sometimes a comprehensive physical examination and thyroid, adrenal or pancreatic function test are also necessary to find out the cause and treat the symptoms. If you just want to save trouble and blindly seek medical treatment and medication, it will only make the situation worse.
