Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many reasons for amenorrhea, and they are also very complex. Summarized, there are roughly these reasons: such as uterine developmental abnormalities, endometrial tuberculosis, uterine cavity adhesions caused by curettage, ovarian dysfunction, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, pituitary tumors, anterior lobe necrosis of the pituitary caused by postpartum massive hemorrhage, or amenorrhea caused by hypothalamic dysfunction due to psychological trauma, anxiety, fear, or severe malnutrition. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a specialized hospital in a timely manner, undergo relevant examinations under the guidance of a doctor, and clarify the diagnosis and treatment.
