Patient's question:
I have been experiencing amenorrhea for many years. Since my first menstrual period at the age of 13, it has been many years. I have tried taking Western medicine, and it works—my period comes when I take it, but stops when I don't. Could you please tell me what are the common causes of amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
The causes of amenorrhea are numerous. For example, delayed menarche may lead to amenorrhea; amenorrhea may result from hunger-inducing hormones; pituitary tumors often cause amenorrhea; excessive exercise can lead to amenorrhea; and induced abortion may also cause amenorrhea. The general treatment methods include surgery and radiation therapy. It is recommended to undergo a gonadotropin six-item check and thyroid function tests before treatment. For patients, if the gynecological condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of gynecological issues. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
