Patient's question:
I'm quite careful with my daily life, usually not eating cold food, but my menstrual cycle is still irregular. It hasn't come for over a month now. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is amenorrhea. Based on your age, amenorrhea is merely a symptom, and various diseases can cause it. Experienced gynecologists may directly use progesterone injections as a method, which we do not deny. However, if the underlying cause is not identified, blindly using hormones (birth control pills are hormones) to "regulate" can worsen an already disrupted endocrine system, making it even more chaotic. After stopping the medication, it is almost certain to recur because the root cause has not been addressed. Your menstrual return is merely a superficial phenomenon forced by external hormones. If the menstrual disorder is caused by a pituitary or ovarian tumor and hormones are misused, it will delay diagnosis and treatment, leading to severe consequences.We recommend using electrochemical luminescence for endocrine testing, intra-cavitary four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound for ovary and uterus examination, and, if necessary, a pituitary stimulation test. This will help identify the cause of amenorrhea, making treatment more effective.
The above advice is for the question "What are the reasons for long-term absence of menstruation?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
