How to treat menstrual disorders and amenorrhea caused by dieting?

Patient's question:

Previously, my menstrual cycle was very regular, never early or late. In December, I went on a diet and exercise to lose weight. On January 25th, my period didn't come, and after taking progesterone, it arrived on February 6th. From March to today, it still hasn't come, and I haven't taken progesterone—only Chinese medicine. The day before yesterday, I had a six-hormone test. How should I be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to the detailed results of the six hormone levels check, both Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) are low, and the possibility of hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that the hospital conduct a thorough examination. Pay attention to rest during daily life, maintain a regular schedule, and ensure a balanced diet. Chinese medicine regulation can help regulate the menstrual cycle. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
