What are the reasons for amenorrhea?

Patient's question:

Hello, as I get older, I have noticed that I have experienced menopause. So, I would like to understand what causes menopause.

Doctor's answer:

The causes of amenorrhea are numerous and can be roughly divided into the following categories:
1. Due to mental factors, malnutrition, anemia, tuberculosis, excessive curettage, endocrine dysfunction, etc.
2. Refers to cases where congenital developmental abnormalities or acquired damage lead to adhesions in the lower genital tract, causing the menstrual flow to be unable to be expelled.
3. Endocrine abnormalities
(1) Hypothyroidism
(2) Hyperprolactinemia
4. Caused by inflammation, damage, and malnutrition, etc.
Advice: You should go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium, have blood tests to check prolactin and thyroid function, etc. In addition to immediate treatment for gynecological patients, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest and absorb nutrients. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
