Does menopause lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

Before marriage, I had excessive white discharge with a bad odor, but I didn't realize the severity of the issue. After marriage, I discovered that it was quite serious, which later led to my four-month amenorrhea. Finally, my period arrived this month. I would like to ask what aspects should be noted if I want to get pregnant? I look forward to your reply.

Doctor's answer:

Amenorrhea can lead to infertility and is distinct from the signs of amenorrhea in early pregnancy; amenorrhea is a physiological phenomenon in women, referring to the absence of menstruation or the cessation of a previously established menstrual cycle. If amenorrhea is detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment, which generally yields satisfactory results. Ignoring the condition is not advisable. Otherwise, the longer the duration of amenorrhea, the more severe the atrophy of the uterus and the poorer the treatment outcomes. For adolescent girls, the possibility of curing amenorrhea depends on the cause. For example, secondary amenorrhea in adolescents is often caused by environmental changes, emotional fluctuations, and weight changes. Once these underlying factors are addressed, menstruation typically gradually resumes. In cases where amenorrhea is caused by specific medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, or tuberculosis, treatment can also restore menstruation.
