If menstruation has already ceased, it is generally not possible to become pregnant. This is because after menopause, ovarian function has essentially declined, and there is no regular secretion of estrogen and progesterone. Thus, there is no development and presence of mature follicles, making pregnancy highly unlikely. Currently, symptoms can only be addressed by utilizing assisted reproductive technologies. If menstruation ceases before the typical age of menopause, early ovarian failure should be considered, and appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures should be taken.

What are the symptoms of amenorrhea?

The most typical clinical presentation of amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation and cessation of menstrual periods. There are many causes of amenorrhea, such as exposure to cold, fatigue, medications, diseases, bacterial infections, and poor emotional states, all of which can lead to hormonal imbalances and result in amenorrhea. Additionally, amenorrhea may occur after sustained physical activity, which is related to the individual's psychological state, stress response level, and a decline in physical condition. If there is a weight loss of 10%-15%, or a 30% decrease in physical condition, amenorrhea may occur. If amenorrhea occurs, dietary adjustments can be made, such as avoiding picky and partial eating, avoiding intense exercise, and consciously increasing the intake of high-protein, high-calorie foods. This is beneficial for the production and transformation of hormones and maintaining normal menstruation. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention should be sought promptly.

Can you get pregnant with menstrual disorder and amenorrhea?

When women experience menstrual disorders such as amenorrhea, most of them are unable to conceive. This is because the ovarian secretion of hormones is abnormal during this period, and there is an ovulation obstacle, usually resulting in the absence of eggs. Thus, sexual intercourse during this time generally does not lead to conception. However, a very small number of women may experience occasional ovulation during amenorrhea. If they have normal sexual relations without contraception during this time, conception could still occur. Nonetheless, many women have abnormal hormone levels during amenorrhea, so even if pregnancy occurs, the abnormal hormone levels in early pregnancy could lead to complications such as missed abortion and miscarriage. It is recommended that women who want to conceive should first undergo regular treatment to restore normal menstrual cycles and resume ovulation before actively trying to conceive.

How to deal with amenorrhea and nausea?

If nausea occurs after menopause, it's important to determine whether the menopause is physiological or pathological. Generally, menopause after the age of 55 is considered physiological, but if it occurs before the age of 55, the cause of the menopause should be considered, such as ovarian diseases. If nausea occurs with menopause, attention should be paid to adjusting the diet, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and consuming vitamin- and protein-rich foods. Maintain a pleasant mood, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and avoid fatigue.
