Hello: The causes or etiology of amenorrhea can be classified into two types: functional and organic. Amenorrhea caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis is considered functional amenorrhea. Organic factors include underdevelopment of reproductive organs, tumors, trauma, chronic wasting diseases (such as tuberculosis), etc.Secondary amenorrhea, common causes or etiologies include endometrial damage or adhesions (commonly seen in multiple curettage procedures or excessive damage to the endometrium, leading to uterine cavity adhesions), tuberculous endometritis, premature ovarian failure and polycystic ovary syndrome, functional ovarian tumors, changes in external factors such as environmental changes, mental trauma, and malnutrition, injection of long-acting contraceptive injections or oral contraceptives, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), and Sheehan's syndrome (due to severe postpartum hemorrhage and shock causing ischemia and necrosis of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, leading to pituitary dysfunction and amenorrhea).
It is recommended that you choose a regular specialized hospital for clear examination and symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health!
