Patient's question:
Medical Description: My girlfriend has irregular periods. Three days ago, she took a pregnancy test and it was negative, but now she has traveled to Chengdu and is experiencing mild fever and sore throat symptoms. Is this due to a weakened immune system before her period?History of Treatment and Effect: She took some cold medicine.
What Help Do You Need: Is this caused by a weakened immune system before her period, or could it be related to elevated body temperature before early pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of amenorrhea: if it occurs due to underdeveloped reproductive organs or incomplete ovarian function, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, amenorrhea can also be caused by hypothalamic dysfunction resulting from environmental changes, emotional fluctuations, weight changes, stress, and fatigue. Additionally, certain conditions can also lead to amenorrhea, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid dysfunction, tuberculosis, severe anemia, malnutrition, and others. If amenorrhea is detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. It is recommended to undergo gynecological examinations, including pregnancy tests and ultrasound, to confirm the diagnosis.
