Patient's question:
I used to have regular periods, but since last year, they have become infrequent, coming only every few months. I have already given birth, so I didn't take it seriously at first. However, this year, my period hasn’t come at all, and I’m very worried now. Could you please tell me: How can amenorrhea be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual irregularity is a common gynecological symptom. The clinical manifestations of menstrual irregularity include menstrual stagnation, perinatal endocrine dysfunction or imbalance, and it can be classified as either primary or secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menarche in women over the age of 16. Secondary amenorrhea refers to the cessation of normal menstrual cycles for more than 6 months after previously having regular periods.Causes of amenorrhea: premature ovarian failure, uterine developmental abnormalities, polycystic ovary syndrome, post-abortion amenorrhea, emotional and psychological factors, and other factors. Amenorrhea should be promptly diagnosed in a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive timely symptomatic treatment. Gynecological patients can, in addition to professional medical care, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
