Patient's question:
Sister-in-law has been divorced for two years and still hasn't had children. Moreover, she is no longer menstruating now. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the amenorrhea was caused by the hypothalamus-pituitary axis. How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hypothalamic-pituitary-induced amenorrhea can lead to infertility. In general, treatment for this condition requires identifying the underlying cause. (1) Remove the cause. (2) For those trying to conceive: Guide ovulation (LH-RH, HMG); refer to polycystic ovary syndrome-induced amenorrhea. (3) For those not trying to conceive: Do not recommend estrogen and progesterone treatment. Generally, for those with amenorrhea, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be adopted, such as decocting root of Rubia cordifolia and drinking it twice daily. It can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Additionally, green tea can be mixed with sugar.
