Menstruation is a physiological reaction that occurs every month in every normal woman, but women also have abnormal menstruation, and menopause is one of them. Moreover, abnormal premature menopause requires us to be more careful.
Reasons for women's premature menopause
1. Environmental factors: Amenorrhea caused by it is a temporary endocrine dysfunction that can naturally recover within 6 months of menstruation.
2. Excessive mental tension and unease: preoperative terror, fear of abortion, mental burden of not being able to conceive and have children, especially feeling ashamed of unmarried pregnancy, etc. This emotional state cannot be changed after surgery, which may lead to amenorrhea.
3. Premature sexual intercourse and bathing after surgery: Some women have sexual intercourse with their husbands within a few days of surgery, do not follow the doctor's instructions, take a shower, bacteria invade the vagina and uterus, uterine infection, menstrual irregularities, and amenorrhea.
4. Ovarian amenorrhea: Denial syndrome, ovarian cysts, ovarian tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, and ovarian anovulation caused by endocrine dysfunction are very common.
5. It is related to the length of breastfeeding time: the longer the breastfeeding time, the later the amenorrhea. This is because women's ovulation is inhibited during lactation, with longer lactation time and fewer ovulation times, resulting in later amenorrhea. Conversely, shorter lactation time leads to earlier amenorrhea.
6. Frequent induced abortions: Women who give birth have multiple induced abortions within a year, resulting in a thin endometrium that cannot recover in the short term. If the basal layer of the endometrium is completely damaged, it can lead to permanent amenorrhea, while partial damage can cause temporary amenorrhea.
7. Pituitary amenorrhea: In addition to amenorrhea, this type of patient also has other symptoms, such as Schihan's syndrome caused by postpartum hemorrhage. In addition to amenorrhea, there are also special areas of hair loss, atrophy, etc. Pituitary prolactinoma causes not only amenorrhea, but also breast milk discharge.
8. Related to fertility status: There is a certain relationship with fertility status: the older the first pregnancy age, the earlier the menopause; The fewer pregnancies, the earlier the menopause. This is because the older the age of the first pregnancy, the fewer pregnancies, the more ovulation times a woman experiences throughout her life, and the earlier amenorrhea occurs.
9. Uterine amenorrhea: There is currently no solution for congenital absence of uterus or complete damage to the endometrium. Patients with intrauterine adhesions should explore the uterine cavity and undergo separation surgery depending on the condition of the adhesions. Intrauterine devices should be placed for several months after the surgery to prevent further adhesions.
