Patient's question:
I started my period at the age of fourteen. At that time, it came only three or four times a year. By the age of seventeen, it had stopped completely. I had also received treatment, but it was ineffective. My doctor gave me medication, and my period came while I was taking it, but it stopped once I stopped taking the medication. How can I effectively treat amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered 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 receive targeted treatment. Do not rely solely on progesterone for menstruation. In addition to treating gynecological issues, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
