Patient's question:
At the age of 15, if I took progesterone for amenorrhea, it would stop. At 24, after drinking a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and undergoing artificial cycles for over a year, taking estrogen and progesterone also made it stop. Please ask what diseases can cause amenorrhea.Doctor's answer:
Menstruation for three months is called amenorrhea. There are many reasons for amenorrhea: the reproductive organs have not yet matured, and the function of the ovaries is not perfect. This condition can occur again and is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, changes in the environment, emotional disturbances, weight fluctuations, and excessive stress can lead to hypothalamic dysfunction and endocrine disorders, resulting in amenorrhea. Additionally, some diseases can also cause amenorrhea, such as: polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, tuberculosis, severe anemia, malnutrition, and so on. If amenorrhea is detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment, which generally yields satisfactory results. Otherwise, the longer the period of amenorrhea, the more severe the uterine expansion, and the poorer the treatment outcome.
