Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it menopause if I haven't had my period for three months?Doctor's answer:
The causes of amenorrhea can be divided into physiological and pathological types. The physiological causes of amenorrhea include: impaired endocrine system, insufficient kidney qi, pregnancy; the inability of the blood sea to be full during lactation, leading to a decrease in the secretion of sex hormones due to prolactin; and factors such as the decline in ovarian function around the age of 50. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
