What is the reason for sudden amenorrhea?

Nowadays, many women feel that their work pressure is getting greater and greater. As they get older, their bodies will show some adverse conditions including insomnia, dreaminess, amenorrhea, etc., which will bring many negative impacts on their lives and work. Some women feel very confused when they suddenly experience amenorrhea and don’t know what the cause of the disease is. So what is the cause of sudden amenorrhea?

1. Amenorrhea caused by mental stimulation

This is a common cause of menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea in women. It is mainly due to changes in emotions, such as stress from study, work and life, boredom, depression, excessive tension, major mental stimulation, etc., which affect the function of the hypothalamus through the neuroendocrine pathway of the cerebral cortex-thalamus-hypothalamus, or through the brain-limbic system, resulting in abnormal secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus, thus leading to menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea.

2. Amenorrhea caused by pituitary diseases (such as pituitary adenoma)

Pituitary adenoma is a common benign intracranial tumor, which mainly originates from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and is more common in people aged 30-40 years. After suffering from pituitary adenoma, abnormal secretion of pituitary hormones will cause a series of metabolic disorders and organ damage. The compression of the tumor will also lead to low secretion of other pituitary hormones, causing low function of related target lines, thus leading to corresponding functional disorders. Therefore, pituitary adenoma has many clinical symptoms, which can manifest as acromegaly or gigantism, as well as amenorrhea, galactorrhea or sexual dysfunction. A few people may also show hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. A few people have no obvious symptoms of endocrine disorders, only changes in visual field.

3. Ovarian amenorrhea

When amenorrhea occurs due to low levels of ovarian sex hormones and the endometrium does not undergo cyclical changes, it is called ovarian amenorrhea. Common causes include premature ovarian failure and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Through the detailed explanation in the above paragraphs, I believe that the majority of women should have a more scientific and comprehensive understanding of the problem of sudden amenorrhea! Of course, I also want to point out that no matter how busy we are at work, we must pay attention to our physical health. When we have time, we can go outdoors to do some aerobic exercise to ensure our health.
