Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Hello! I am a 23-year-old girl, and I have been experiencing amenorrhea for 9 months. Additionally, my uterus has severely atrophied. The ultrasound examination shows that my uterus is too small. I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for two months, but there has been no significant improvement. Could you please tell me what causes uterine atrophy? The doctor recommended that I undergo a sex hormone test. Is it necessary? What medication can be effective?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are experiencing symptoms of uterine atrophy, which is caused by a decrease in estrogen secretion in your body due to your age. The symptoms of uterine atrophy are normal and do not need to be worried about. The presence of cervical polyps not only affects a woman's physical 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. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
