What should I do if I don’t have my period at the age of 40?

As women age, their bodies will show some signs of aging, such as crow's feet at the corners of their eyes, decreased physical strength, and sometimes even a significant decline in memory. From another perspective, women’s aging will also affect their reproductive system, especially menstruation, which may cause disorders. So, what should a woman do if she doesn't have her period at the age of 40?

1. Adjust your eating habits

Secondary amenorrhea in women in their forties may be caused by malnutrition, so they should actively adjust their diet in life, not be picky or partial to certain foods, and consume more high-protein foods, such as meat, eggs, milk, fish, etc. At the same time, they also need to eat more vegetables and fruits to ensure adequate nutrition supply. When the qi and blood are sufficient, menstruation will come naturally.

2. Actively treat chronic diseases

Sometimes systemic chronic diseases in women may also lead to amenorrhea, especially gastrointestinal diseases, anemia, tuberculosis, etc., which may lead to malnutrition in women and thus cause amenorrhea. Only through proper treatment to reduce these wasting diseases, women's bodies will become strong, qi and blood will become sufficient, and menstruation will come automatically.

3. Keep a happy mood

Adverse mental stimulation may also lead to the occurrence of secondary amenorrhea, so once women have secondary amenorrhea, they need to actively look for the cause. If it is caused by mental reasons, they need to actively adjust their emotions and avoid the stimulation of adverse factors such as tension and panic. This can avoid the disorder of qi and blood due to bad emotions and affect the normal menstruation. They can also engage in physical exercise and physical labor appropriately, which can enhance their physical fitness and promote the normal arrival of menstruation.

4. Obese people should actively lose weight

Being too obese in women may also lead to secondary amenorrhea, so if a woman is too obese, she should actively lose weight, eat less sweets and fatty foods, control her weight, and take various measures to maintain a normal weight. This can also promote the onset of menstruation.
