Patient's question:
I started my period at the age of fourteen. At that time, it was about three or four times a year. By the age of seventeen, it had stopped completely. I had also received treatment, but it was ineffective. The doctor's medication made it return, but without the medication, it stopped again. Could you please tell me what the specific cause of amenorrhea is?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be secondary amenorrhea. After women have established regular menstruation, if they miss their periods for 3 months or more, it is referred to as secondary amenorrhea. Common other diseases that can lead to secondary amenorrhea include endometrial tuberculosis and intrauterine adhesions caused by damage to the endometrium from multiple uterine cavity surgeries. It is recommended to promptly visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. Do not rely solely on progesterone for menstrual treatment. There are many treatment methods available in gynecology, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that targeted treatment can be administered.
