Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I had my period on September 29th, and it has been 45 days since then with no period. On the 6th and 10th day of the missed period, I went to the hospital for tests, which were negative. The ultrasound showed the endometrium thickening by 14 millimeters. I want to ask why I haven't had my period after so long, as it was always normal before. Could the thickened endometrium be the cause? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
If the menopause period is not long or occurs occasionally, you can review whether there have been any special circumstances recently, such as mental stress, excessive tension, fatigue, environmental changes, cold exposure, malnutrition, etc. These external factors can sometimes inhibit the function of the central nervous system, thereby reducing the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin and leading to menopause. Taking birth control pills can sometimes directly inhibit the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin, causing menopause.You should go to the hospital in time to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment, which generally yields satisfactory results. Do not avoid seeking medical help. Otherwise, the longer the menopause period persists, the more severe the atrophy of the uterus will become, and the poorer the treatment effect will be.
