Why does amenorrhea occur?

Nowadays women are under great pressure from work and study, and if the stress is not released in time, it will lead to various bad consequences over time. Amenorrhea is one of them. So, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, why does amenorrhea occur? Let us understand this phenomenon together and remind more women with irregular menstruation so that they can pay more attention to it in their lives.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. If menstruation does not come or stops, it is called amenorrhea. Amenorrhea can be divided into physiological and pathological. The so-called physiological amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation in women before puberty, pregnancy, lactation and after menopause due to normal changes in sex hormones in the body. Physiological amenorrhea is a normal physiological phenomenon. Pathological amenorrhea includes primary and secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea refers to a woman who is over 18 years old but has not had her first menstruation yet; secondary amenorrhea refers to a woman who had normal menstruation in the past but has stopped having it for more than 3 months.

1. Mental factors: Some women may experience temporary discomfort due to mental stimulation or changes in the external environment or lifestyle. As long as the psychological factors are adjusted, the amenorrhea situation can be effectively improved.

2. Diseases of the uterus itself: Some women are born with problems in the development of the uterus, such as no uterus or an underdeveloped uterus. Some women may have various lesions in the uterus after birth, such as uterine tuberculosis, or surgery, radiation, etc. that damage the uterus, which can also cause amenorrhea.

3. Vaginal abnormalities: If there is a congenital septum in the vagina, or the hymen is occluded, or the vagina is occluded due to scars left by vaginal trauma, it may cause menstrual blood to be unable to flow out, forming "obstructive amenorrhea."

4. Ovarian and pituitary diseases: The occurrence of menstruation is closely related to the functions of the ovaries and pituitary gland. If the ovaries are not functioning properly, such as surgical resection or radiation damage to the ovaries, or pituitary tumors or necrosis, amenorrhea may occur.

5. Chronic diseases and malnutrition: Some chronic wasting diseases can also affect menstruation, such as heart disease. In addition, tuberculosis and malnutrition can also cause amenorrhea.

If amenorrhea occurs, whether it is serious depends on the nature of the amenorrhea. If it is caused by a disease, the nature may be more serious, mainly affecting the reproductive function. People with amenorrhea generally cannot reproduce normally.

Secondary amenorrhea during adolescence is mostly caused by environmental changes, mood swings and weight changes. After these causes are eliminated, menstruation can gradually resume. In a few cases of amenorrhea caused by illness, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, abnormal thyroid function, tuberculosis, etc., menstruation can be restored after treatment. So, what are the common reasons why girls must be

Causes of amenorrhea: 1. Disease factors

It mainly includes wasting diseases, such as severe pulmonary tuberculosis, severe anemia, malnutrition, etc., unique endocrine diseases, such as "obesity reproductive incompetence malnutrition", etc.; the influence of some endocrine system disorders in the body, such as adrenal glands, thyroid glands, pancreas and other dysfunctions. The influence of these reasons may cause menstruation to stop. However, as long as the amenorrhea caused by these conditions is cured, menstruation will return naturally.

Cause of amenorrhea 2: Atresia of the lower reproductive tract

For example, there is congenital atresia in some parts of the cervix, vagina, hymen, labia, etc., or adhesive atresia caused by acquired damage. Although menstruation occurs, the menstrual blood cannot flow out. This condition is called hidden or pseudo-amenorrhea. Lower reproductive tract atresia can be completely cured with medical treatment.

From this we can see that amenorrhea is not caused by a single reason, but is caused by overwork. Therefore, the question of why amenorrhea occurs is easily answered. In short, we must always pay attention to our physical health, and take effective measures in time when we find that our menstruation is abnormal.
