Will excessive weight loss lead to amenorrhea? This kind of treatment will become a confident woman

Amenorrhea is a common abnormal menstrual condition, which can be caused by various reasons. We should pay attention to the changes in the body, especially after discovering signs of amenorrhea, we must promptly undergo examination and treatment.

Excessive weight loss can lead to amenorrhea

In the human brain, there is the hypothalamus, which contains a feeding center and a satiety center. When a person experiences anorexia or subjective compulsion to reduce their appetite, the cerebral cortex forcibly suppresses it. So far, dysfunction has occurred in the two appetite centers of the hypothalamus, resulting in weight loss. The secretion of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone in the hypothalamus is reduced, and the secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone by the hypothalamic pituitary gland is also reduced, resulting in amenorrhea.

Losing weight and controlling weight are the causes of anorexia nervosa. After the occurrence of anorexia nervosa, weight loss is rapid, systemic metabolism is slow, and weight and menstrual recovery are very difficult. Because I lose my appetite at this time, I am not interested in all kinds of food. Even if I reluctantly increase my appetite, my stomach will slow down and expand.

This type of amenorrhea often occurs in obese women, some of whom are only high school students, which is a tragedy of their blind weight loss. About half of these patients can recover by eliminating the underlying causes and restoring weight, while another quarter of patients can be cured with ovulation promoting drugs.

There are still a few cases that are relatively stubborn and difficult to treat. Overall, the shorter the duration of amenorrhea, the faster it is to seek treatment, and the more opportunities for treatment. Generally, patients with amenorrhea for less than 3 years have ideal treatment outcomes.

What to do with amenorrhea

1. Plaster external application: Some hospitals have a unique secret formula of traditional Chinese medicine to make a plaster, which has a significant effect on treating amenorrhea. Generally, patients use ginger to wipe the skin of the corresponding sticking area, take a plaster and directly stick it onto the Shenkui acupoint (navel), and replace it every other day. Applying ointment to acupoints spreads the effect to the blood through the skin, mainly nourishing the kidneys and qi, nourishing blood and regulating menstruation, promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis to clear the meridians.
