Patient's question:
I went to the hospital in August for a thorough examination due to lower abdominal pain. The examination revealed a myoma in the uterine adnexa. A month later, I underwent surgery to remove the myoma. At that time, both ovaries were also removed. However, I did not have my period for the second month after the surgery. Is this amenorrhea? Hello, what are the reasons for amenorrhea after surgery?Doctor's answer:
If the teratoma surgery has already removed the ovary at the affected site, then it will no longer experience menstruation. This is not a case of post-surgical amenorrhea, but rather due to the absence of estrogen production after the ovary is removed, which means menstruation will cease completely. The ovary is a crucial organ for estrogen production in women, and after its removal, many female characteristics will no longer appear, such as the disappearance of menstruation and breast atrophy, among other symptoms.
