Is amenorrhea the same as menopause?

Many female friends think that the onset of amenorrhea means they have reached menopause, but this understanding is incorrect. Sometimes abnormal amenorrhea cannot be said to be the onset of menopause. It is caused by work pressure or some other diseases. So, what is the difference between amenorrhea and menopause?

1. Amenorrhea refers to the situation in which a woman over the age of 16 has not had her first menstruation, or has had her first menstruation in the past but has stopped having menstruation for more than 6 months due to some physiological reasons. Amenorrhea can be divided into physiological amenorrhea and physiological amenorrhea. The ages of physiological amenorrhea include before puberty, pregnancy, lactation and menopause. Physiological amenorrhea generally does not require special treatment and will improve on its own.

2. Some women will not have their first menstruation until the age of 18, or their menstruation will stop for more than 6 months between their first menstruation and menopause. This condition is called physiological amenorrhea.

3. Female menopause refers to the decline of the ovaries and the cessation of menstruation. Menopause can be divided into two types: natural menopause and artificial menopause. Of course, menopause refers to the exhaustion of eggs in the ovaries, or the remaining eggs no longer respond to gonadotropins. The eggs no longer grow and secrete estrogen, and cannot stimulate the growth of the uterine wall, causing menopause. Artificial menopause refers to surgical removal of both uterus and ovaries or termination of ovaries by other means, such as tumor radiotherapy and radiotherapy.

4. The age of menopause in women is different from the age of menopause. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for women to menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, and no special treatment is needed. At this time, the age of menopause is defined the same as the age of menopause.

How to regulate menstruation in case of amenorrhea

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by insufficient kidney essence, deficiency of qi and blood, and obstruction of blood circulation. There are distinctions between excess and deficiency. Deficiency is mostly due to deficiency of both Qi and blood and kidney deficiency, while excess is mostly due to cold stagnation, Qi stagnation, blood stasis and blood stasis. In terms of treatment, if both qi and blood are deficient, blood and qi should be nourished; if kidney deficiency occurs, the lower abdomen should be nourished; if cold stagnation occurs, qi and blood should be promoted; if qi stagnation and blood stasis occurs, the liver should be soothed and qi should be regulated; if blood stasis occurs, blood circulation and stasis removal should be carried out. According to different symptoms, syndrome differentiation and treatment can be carried out.
