Causes of amenorrhea

1. Amenorrhea caused by mental stimulation. This is also a common cause of amenorrhea in women. It is mainly due to changes in mentality, such as work and life pressure, anxiety, mental stimulation, etc., through the neuroendocrine mode of the cerebral cortex-thalamus-hypothalamus-pituitary, or through the brain-limbic system affecting the hypothalamus-pituitary function, resulting in the release of gonadotropin from the hypothalamus and abnormal secretion of growth hormone, thus causing menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea.

2. Amenorrhea caused by pituitary disease. Pituitary cystadenoma is a common malignant brain tumor, which mainly originates from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. After suffering from pituitary cystadenoma, the abnormal metabolism of pituitary hormones will cause a series of metabolic disorders and organ damage. The compression of the tumor will also cause the low metabolism of other pituitary hormones, resulting in low effect of related target lines, and then causing corresponding functional problems. One of the main manifestations is amenorrhea, which is more common in women aged 30-40.

3. Ovarian amenorrhea. When amenorrhea occurs due to low estrogen levels in the uterus and ovaries and irregular changes in the uterine wall, it is called ovarian amenorrhea. Common cases include premature ovarian failure and polycystic ovary syndrome.
