Patient's question:
I had my second baby last year, but since giving birth to the second child, I haven't had my period. At first, I thought it was normal and didn't take it seriously, but now it's been a year and a half, and I still haven't had my period. However, my body hasn't shown any other discomforts. Patient: Female, 31 years old. What could be the reason for not having a period for a year and a half?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 31, experiencing this condition of secondary amenorrhea again suggests possible premature ovarian failure. Therefore, it is necessary to have blood tests to check hormone levels. If the hormone levels exceed the extent of premature ovarian failure, which surpasses the normal range, medication will be required to regulate the condition. During the medication treatment period, it is crucial to maintain a regular diet and lifestyle, and absolutely no overtime work is allowed. Overtime can exacerbate the irregularity of your menstrual cycle, which is already irregular. On a daily basis, it is recommended to consume more soy products to help balance estrogen levels. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
