Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old married woman. I haven't had my period for the past year. We had already decided to divorce, but the man's family didn't go through with it, fearing I couldn't bear children. This month, for some reason, my period suddenly returned, catching me completely off guard. What could cause a woman to have her period after not having it for a year following menopause?Doctor's answer:
At your age, you have premature ovarian failure, not menopause. You should go to a formal hospital for further and thorough examination. You can have tests for 6 hormones, thyroid function, blood sugar, and pancreatic function, among others. After reviewing the results, treatment can be administered. If you have endocrine disorders, it is better to divorce early and have children to avoid the risk of declining ovarian function with age, making it harder to conceive. Avoid extremely cold, spicy, and refrigerated foods. Pay attention to rest, exercise, and diet control.
