Doctor's answer:

Hello, amenorrhea is not normal at present. 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; during lactation, the blood sea cannot be full, and prolactin reduces the secretion of sex hormones; factors such as ovarian function decline around the age of 50 during menopause.
The pathological causes of amenorrhea are due to congenital defects in the lower segment of the reproductive tract, such as hymen atresia or adhesions caused by postnatal damage, which prevent menstruation from flowing out, resulting in hidden or pseudomenorrhea. Congenital absence or underdevelopment of ovaries, ovarian damage or removal, ovarian tumors, and premature ovarian failure leading to ovarian amenorrhea. Pituitary damage, pituitary tumors, primary hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, leading to pituitary amenorrhea. Mental and neurological factors include wasting diseases, sex chromosome abnormalities, anemia, obesity, reproductive functional malnutrition syndrome, drug-induced syndrome, galactorrhea amenorrhea syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and hypothalamic amenorrhea caused by other endocrine gland influences.
