If women are in the perimenopausal period and experience amenorrhea, it is not advised to use medication to induce menstruation. Artificially prolonging menstruation can sometimes lead to breast diseases, so excessive intervention is not recommended. This is a natural law of nature that we need to follow.

For women who are not in menopause but experience amenorrhea, it is necessary to perform ultrasound and test six sex hormones. Sometimes, it may also be necessary to examine the pituitary gland to identify the specific cause of amenorrhea. Based on the specific cause, systematic treatment to regulate menstruation is required, and sometimes medication is necessary. If there is a pituitary tumor, surgical treatment might also be needed.

(The use of medication should be conducted under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

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.

Causes of Amenorrhea

Amenorrhea can be physiological or pathological. Physiological amenorrhea, for example, occurs during the breastfeeding period when menstruation is irregular for three consecutive months; this is considered normal. Also, some patients may experience temporary amenorrhea due to medications used to treat conditions such as endometriosis, which is also normal. Pathological amenorrhea, commonly seen in clinical settings, includes conditions such as ovarian dysfunction, severe intrauterine adhesions, premature ovarian failure, or other endocrine disorders, which can result in the absence of menstruation. It is essential for individuals experiencing amenorrhea to undergo relevant medical examinations to identify the cause, followed by appropriate treatments based on the findings.

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.
