Symptoms of physiological amenorrhea

When women experience amenorrhea, they should pay attention to their physical condition. It is normal for women to experience amenorrhea after the age of 50, but for young women, amenorrhea is caused by many problems. At this time, timely improvement is required. Otherwise, if the amenorrhea is severe, it will cause more damage to the female body. What are the symptoms of physiological amenorrhea? Many people do not understand this. The following is a detailed introduction.

Symptoms of physiological amenorrhea

Symptoms of physiological amenorrhea 1. Prepubertal amenorrhea: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate can be detected in the urine of girls aged 6 to 9 years old, and it increases rapidly from the age of 10. This is a manifestation of the initial adrenal function. The androgen derived from the adrenal glands promotes the appearance of pubic hair and axillary hair, and the body grows rapidly. Because the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis has yet to be further developed and the estrogen level is still low, the endometrial proliferation is poor, and it will not cause bleeding, so the menstruation is delayed. The absence of menstruation during the period before menarche is a physiological phenomenon. Some girls still have menstruation once every few months for a year or so after menarche, and it is also normal to have anovulatory menstruation.

Symptoms of physiological amenorrhea 2. Lactational amenorrhea: If a breastfeeding woman weans her baby at any time, her menstruation will usually resume 2 months after weaning.

Symptoms of physiological amenorrhea 3. Menopausal transition and postmenopausal amenorrhea: During the menopausal transition, uterine bleeding may occur once every few months. After menopause, the reproductive organs gradually atrophy and the uterus also shrinks.

Causes of physiological amenorrhea

In the early stages of puberty, within the first two or three years of menstruation, the menstrual cycle is often irregular because the ovarian function is still unstable. After conception, women will not have menstruation because the corpus luteum of the ovary produces a large amount of progesterone, which stimulates the continuous proliferation of the endometrium without shedding. After delivery, it takes a certain amount of time for the ovarian function to recover, and the suppression of the ovaries by breastfeeding makes the recovery of menstruation even later. After women reach the age of 40, due to the gradual decline of ovarian function, menstruation often occurs only once every few months until menopause.

The harm of physiological amenorrhea

Amenorrhea is just a symptom of a gynecological disease, so amenorrhea itself does not cause any harm to the body. What has adverse effects on the body is the primary disease that causes amenorrhea. The harm caused by these primary diseases cannot be ignored, such as reproductive system dysplasia, tumors, deformities, etc. However, menopause often disrupts the psychological balance and causes many women to have obvious psychological burdens, which will bring about a series of mental symptoms. For example, menopause may cause uterine atrophy or insufficient physiological function, such as reduced secretions, pain during sexual intercourse, decreased libido, and infertility.

After understanding the symptoms of physiological amenorrhea, if you experience this condition, you must improve it in a timely manner. However, it should be noted that when amenorrhea occurs, women's emotions must be stable. At this time, women are prone to irritability, which is not good for their bodies. This is something that must be paid attention to.
