Patient's question:
At 19, I haven't had my period for over two and a half months. My menstrual cycle has always been irregular. I had a thorough examination at the hospital, and the endometrial thickness was 0.8 cm. I have never been pregnant, given birth, or had an abortion. I have taken Chinese medicine, including Motherwort, and it hasn't helped. What could be causing this amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, it is generally believed that if menstruation does not occur for three consecutive months, it can be diagnosed as secondary amenorrhea. Many reasons may lead to amenorrhea. It is generally believed to be caused by endocrine disorders. Before this, there may be symptoms such as persistent menstrual increase and delayed periods. If amenorrhea occurs again, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible. Identify the reasons for the delayed menstruation, and take medication accordingly. The earlier the treatment for menstrual disorders, the better the outcome. In addition to symptomatic treatment in gynecology, patients also need to pay attention to diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a happy mood.
