1. Oligomenorrhea or late menstruation can develop into amenorrhea. Actively treating oligomenorrhea or late menstruation can reduce the incidence of amenorrhea.

2. Clarifying the cause and location of amenorrhea will have a certain reference value for the effect of treating amenorrhea and estimating the prognosis. For example, hypothalamic amenorrhea is caused by mental factors, environmental changes, malnutrition, etc., and the prognosis is better with drug treatment. For example, in the case of uterine amenorrhea caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the endometrium has been destroyed and the possibility of resuming menstruation is low. For example, if the progesterone test is positive (menstruation can be reversed after taking progesterone), the prognosis is better.
