There are many causes of amenorrhea in women in our country, with the most common causes being hypothalamic disorders, pituitary disorders, and ovarian disorders. Other endocrine diseases, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia and thyroid dysfunction, can also lead to ovulation disorders and the symptoms of amenorrhea. If amenorrhea occurs and there is a desire for childbirth, it is advisable to seek timely medical treatment at a professional reproductive hospital. This allows for systematic regulation of menstruation and comprehensive treatment based on the specific causes of amenorrhea, aiming to possibly enhance fertility and improve our infertile condition.

What are the harms of premature menopause?

The normal age of menopause for women in our country is around 49 years old. If menopause occurs during this period, it's generally not a big issue. However, if menopause occurs prematurely, it typically indicates a decline in ovarian function or early ovarian failure. This can cause disruptions in marital relations for women, and if menopause happens too early, it can lead to premature symptoms of menopause. Symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, irritability can occur, and in severe cases, it may lead to diseases related to blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Therefore, premature menopause does have an impact on health. If these symptoms appear prematurely, it is crucial to go to the hospital for appropriate adjustment and treatment.

What should I do if my period has been absent for three months?

If a woman does not menstruate for three months, medically this is called amenorrhea. If she is relatively young, it is essential to visit a hospital for relevant examinations. Generally, an ultrasound is conducted first to check the thickness of the endometrial lining and to assess if there are any organic diseases affecting the uterus or ovaries. If the endometrium appears thin and there are no organic diseases, further examinations should include tests for six sex hormones, which are indicators of ovarian function. If the results suggest premature ovarian failure or some endocrine disorders, treatment can be tailored according to these findings. Moreover, if the woman has reached menopausal age and indeed has not menstruated for three months, this condition is considered amenorrhea, which might be physiological. Hence, if an older woman experiences amenorrhea, it is likely true menopausal amenorrhea. Additionally, if a woman who normally has regular menstrual cycles does not menstruate for three months, pregnancy cannot be ruled out, and it is crucial to conduct relevant tests for early pregnancy.

Where is moxibustion most effective for amenorrhea?

For women experiencing amenorrhea due to various reasons, it is advisable to undergo a systematic examination at a hospital. This is because the regulation of the menstrual cycle is a complex process involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and cerebral cortex, as well as factors related to mental health, body fluids, and environmental aspects. Only after identifying the cause can a doctor arrange a suitable treatment plan. You may also consider traditional Chinese medicine, which has unique efficacy and insights regarding amenorrhea. When opting for moxibustion, it should be performed under the guidance of a professional traditional Chinese medicine therapist. It is not advisable to go to small clinics or beauty salons for this treatment, as it involves specific acupuncture points. Whether to choose the Guanchi point or the Sanyinjiao point should be determined by a professional practitioner. If you have further questions, please consult a doctor at the hospital.

Will there be ovulation during amenorrhea?

In our professional field, amenorrhea is actually defined as not having menstruation for over six months, or missing three menstrual cycles—this is what we professionally regard as amenorrhea. What most people talk about as amenorrhea refers to the situation where menstruation does not occur when expected. In cases where menstruation does not occur when expected, is ovulation still possible? In fact, it is possible to ovulate under such circumstances. Generally speaking, for a woman with regular menstrual cycles, if she does not get her period when expected, the first considerations are usually pregnancy or an anovulatory menstrual cycle, both of which are common occurrences. Of course, for women with irregular menstrual cycles, or even for those with regular cycles who do not get their period when expected, it is possible that ovulation may be delayed. How long can it be delayed? The timing can sometimes be uncertain, it is entirely possible for ovulation to occur sometime after the expected menstrual date. Therefore, during the period after the expected time of menstruation, it is indeed entirely possible for ovulation to occur.
