Clinically, there are various potential causes of amenorrhea that need to be ruled out one by one. Then, based on the identified cause of the amenorrhea, a targeted treatment plan can be developed.

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.

What tests are required for amenorrhea?

Amenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological diseases, and it usually requires an ultrasound and a sex hormone panel test. Testing the sex hormone panel should be done by drawing blood on an empty stomach in the morning, three to five days after the onset of menstruation, for more accurate results. After identifying the cause, treatment should be targeted accordingly. There are many reasons for amenorrhea in women, such as poor lifestyle habits, excessive fasting for weight loss, malnutrition, and kidney deficiency, all of which can cause this condition. Amenorrhea can lead to disturbances in the ovulation cycle and, in severe cases, prevent the development of follicles, causing infertility in women.

Will weight decrease with amenorrhea?

Amenorrhea can lead to weight loss but it can also cause weight gain. The impact on weight varies depending on the cause of amenorrhea. If a woman experiences amenorrhea due to consistent dieting and weight loss, it can lead to a physiological disorder of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, resulting in what is known as psychogenic amenorrhea. This type of amenorrhea usually results in significant weight loss in women. On the other hand, if a woman's amenorrhea is caused by polycystic ovary syndrome, it does not lead to weight loss and can even cause significant weight gain. Amenorrhea caused by this condition generally requires treatment with medication and interventions such as exercise before symptoms can improve significantly. Therefore, the treatment for amenorrhea should be based on its specific causes, as different causes can have different effects on weight.
