Treatment of secondary amenorrhea

The treatment of secondary amenorrhea requires appropriate measures based on the specific cause. Common treatments include hormone regulation, lifestyle adjustments, and drug therapy. Secondary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation for more than 3 months after a normal menstrual cycle, which may be related to endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, and other factors.

1. Hormone regulation: For amenorrhea caused by endocrine disorders, doctors may recommend hormone therapy. Oral contraceptives such as ethinyl estradiol cyproterone acetate tablets can regulate the menstrual cycle; progesterone drugs such as dydrogesterone acetate tablets can promote endometrial shedding; gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists such as leuprolide can regulate the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis.

2. Lifestyle adjustment: Bad living habits such as excessive dieting and excessive stress may lead to amenorrhea. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet and take in enough protein, vitamins and minerals; moderate exercise such as yoga and jogging can help relieve stress; ensure adequate sleep, 7-8 hours a day.

3. Drug treatment: For diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, doctors may prescribe metformin to improve insulin resistance; clomiphene can promote ovulation; spironolactone can regulate androgen levels. For abnormal thyroid function, levothyroxine tablets can improve hypothyroidism.

The treatment of secondary amenorrhea requires targeted treatment based on the cause, while focusing on improving lifestyle. If necessary, medication or hormone therapy should be used under the guidance of a doctor to restore normal menstrual cycles and reproductive function.
