Whether amenorrhea is suitable for IVF depends firstly on the cause of the amenorrhea. If the amenorrhea is due to ovarian failure, with an AMH value less than 1, indicating diminished ovarian function, IVF would not be successful in this scenario. However, if the AMH, indicating ovarian reserve, is greater than 1 and the amenorrhea is caused by hormonal imbalances, then IVF can be considered. If the amenorrhea is due to uterine adhesions, adhesion dissection can be performed. If, following the dissection, the endometrium develops well and the adhesions are treated, IVF can be considered. Moreover, if the amenorrhea is associated with conditions like galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome or polycystic ovarian syndrome, which are also due to hormonal imbalances, adjusting hormone levels to normal can also make IVF a viable option. Therefore, whether IVF is possible with amenorrhea depends on identifying the cause of the amenorrhea, and decisions can be made based on that.

How to distinguish between pregnancy and amenorrhea

If your menstrual cycles have been regular up to now and there is a delay in your current cycle, the first thing to do is to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. There is a significant difference between a normal pregnancy and amenorrhea, and pregnancy can generally be detected through early pregnancy test strips if the menstrual cycle is irregular. If the test strip is positive, it is generally considered likely that you are pregnant, and it is not a case of amenorrhea. If the test shows a negative result, then it is necessary to check the thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium is thin, the likelihood of amenorrhea significantly increases.

How to treat amenorrhea infertility?

Amenorrhea-induced infertility first requires identifying the underlying cause of the amenorrhea. If it is due to intrauterine adhesions, a hysteroscopic adhesion lysis can be performed. After surgery, promoting the development of the endometrium can normalize uterine lining growth and serve a therapeutic function. If the amenorrhea is caused by ovarian secretory dysfunction, adjusting ovarian function can help, as conditions like amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome are caused by amenorrhea and lead to infertility, in which case hormonal regulation can treat infertility. Amenorrhea caused by premature ovarian failure can pose significant treatment challenges if the deterioration is severe. Thus, determining the specific cause of amenorrhea is essential for targeted treatment.

How to regulate amenorrhea to restore menstruation

In the treatment of amenorrhea, systemic treatment plays an important role. It includes active treatment of systemic diseases, improving the overall quality of the body, and then providing adequate nutrition to maintain standard weight. In cases of exercise-induced amenorrhea, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of exercise. For amenorrhea caused by stress and psychological reasons, patient psychological therapy should be conducted to eliminate mental tension and anxiety. If the amenorrhea is caused by pathological conditions like tumors or polycystic ovary syndrome, then etiological treatment should be given. Once the cause of the disease is identified, appropriate hormonal treatment should be provided to supplement insufficient hormones in the body and counteract excess, aiming to regulate and treat amenorrhea.

How to regulate amenorrhea with no vaginal discharge?

Amenorrhea without vaginal discharge is a normal physiological phenomenon. Amenorrhea occurs due to ovarian failure, which results in no normal ovulation and a significant decrease in estrogen levels, or very low levels of estrogen. Consequently, the secretions from the cervix and vagina decrease, leading to an absence of vaginal discharge—a normal occurrence that does not require intervention. However, if there is an increase in vaginal discharge after amenorrhea, or if the discharge is abnormally colored and accompanied by itching of the vulva, it could indicate vaginitis, which would require prompt examination and treatment. Therefore, the absence of vaginal discharge following amenorrhea does not require intervention.
