Why do I have back pain and bloating but no menstruation?

Under normal circumstances, women will feel back pain, lack of strength, and more importantly, abdominal pain during menstruation. However, it must be said that without the help of menstruation, women's bodies are prone to problems and will age prematurely by at least ten or twenty years. In life, some women's bodies are quite strange. They have already shown some symptoms of menstruation, but their menstruation is delayed. What is going on?

Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation. Western medicine divides amenorrhea into primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is caused by congenital abnormalities in the development of reproductive organs or acquired organic damage, and cannot be effectively treated with drugs.

Amenorrhea is caused by the following reasons: systemic diseases, hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction or organic lesions, ovarian dysfunction or organic lesions, uterine, drug-induced, and other endocrine dysfunctions such as adrenal cortex dysfunction and thyroid dysfunction. In addition, hyperprolactinemia and polycystic ovary syndrome may also cause amenorrhea.

Common causes of missed menstruation

Modern medicine divides amenorrhea into primary and secondary. Primary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation after the age of 18. Common causes include congenital anatomical abnormalities, chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine disorders, malnutrition, etc. Secondary amenorrhea refers to the situation where menstruation occurs, but due to some factors, the menstruation stops for more than three cycles.

Causes of amenorrhea: Common causes include systemic diseases, such as anemia, nephritis, tuberculosis, endocrine disorders, ovarian abnormalities, sequelae of artificial abortion, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are multiple causes of amenorrhea, such as blood loss, multiple births, sexual fatigue, excessive worry, depression, cold and dampness, etc. Its syndrome differentiation can be divided into two categories: "deficiency" and "excess".

"Deficiency syndrome" is mostly caused by insufficient yin blood, or even exhaustion, the blood sea is empty and there is no blood to flow down, which is mainly caused by insufficient qi and blood and kidney deficiency. The treatment is mainly to regulate and tonify the spleen and kidney. When qi and blood are sufficient, menstruation will come on time. "Excess syndrome" amenorrhea is mainly caused by obstruction of the meridians by excess evil, which prevents menstrual blood from flowing downward.

The most common causes are qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm dampness, and cold dampness. Patients often feel that their menstruation is coming but not coming, and they experience discomfort such as lower abdominal distension and pain, breast swelling, and back pain.
