Amenorrhea is a disease that many women will encounter, and among these amenorrhea female friends, young women are especially few. So what are the causes of amenorrhea in young women? Let's take a look with the editor of Weiwei Health Network.

Causes of amenorrhea in young women

Amenorrhea brought about by slimming

The human brain contains the hypothalamus, in which there are feeding centers and satiety centers. When a person has anorexia or subjectively compulsorily requires food reduction, the cerebral cortex will be forcibly inhibited, and in the long run, the two appetite centers of the hypothalamus will be dysfunctional, causing people to lose weight, and further affect the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone secretion center of the hypothalamus, so that the secretion is reduced, and then the luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone secreted by the pituitary gland are also reduced, so amenorrhea occurs.

Weight loss and weight control are often the causes of anorexia nervosa. Once anorexia nervosa occurs, weight loss is rapid, the metabolism of the whole body slows down and is low, and it is very difficult to regain weight and menstruation. At this time, I have lost my appetite, I am not interested in all kinds of food, and even if I barely increase the amount of food, I feel that my stomach is swollen and uncomfortable because of the slow emptying of my stomach.

This kind of amenorrhea mostly occurs in obese women, some of whom are only high school students, which is a tragedy caused by their blind weight loss. About half of these patients can recover by eliminating the triggers and regaining their weight, and the other 3/0 patients can be cured with ovulation-inducing drugs. There are also a few cases that are more stubborn and difficult to treat. The shorter the amenorrhea time, the earlier the treatment is sought, the more chance of cure, and the treatment effect of patients with amenorrhea within 0 years is generally ideal.

Amenorrhea due to abortion

Some unmarried girls who are pregnant or newly married women often go to abortion because they cannot get married or because they need to study or study. After surgery, some people find that their menstrual periods are gradually decreasing, and even amenorrhea, sometimes accompanied by periodic lower abdominal pain.

This is due to improper dilation and curettage that damages the cervix or the basement membrane of the endometrium, resulting in adhesions to the internal cervical opening or partial adhesions to the uterine wall, resulting in amenorrhea. In this way, even if there are periodic changes in the intima, menstrual blood cannot flow out and remains in the uterine cavity, resulting in periodic lower abdominal pain. Clinically, it is referred to as secondary amenorrhea. Mild cervical adhesions can be separated with a probe, and severe cervical or intrauterine adhesions are surgically separated. To prevent further adhesions, an IUD can be inserted after surgery. For the excessively atrophied endometrium, it is expected to restore the ability to conceive after half a year of treatment with an artificial cycle, but miscarriage and premature birth often occur after pregnancy.

Therefore, first-time pregnant women must pay full attention to abortion, seek medical attention in time when they find pregnancy, and try to gain time to do medical abortion as soon as possible to avoid adhesions of uterine curettage. If the newlyweds are not materially and mentally prepared for pregnancy, they must pay close attention to contraception in advance.

Tension-forming amenorrhea

Female amenorrhea caused by psychological factors is the most easily overlooked, and medical studies have shown that women's menstruation is closely related to the nervous system and endocrine system. The highly competitive environment and complex interpersonal relationships put the brain's nervous system in a state of high tension. Mental tension and mood swings affect the functioning of the nervous system, which leads to amenorrhea.

There are many cases of amenorrhea caused by psychological factors, such as the upcoming exam date, just changing jobs, being laid off and unemployed, having conflicts with boyfriends or the death of relatives, etc. For amenorrhea in such women, psychotherapy must be carried out, and cordial enlightenment and catharsis is the most common basic way, and there is generally no need for medical treatment. As long as you maintain a good attitude, menstruation can quickly return to normal.

Disease-induced amenorrhea

It mainly includes wasting diseases, such as severe tuberculosis, severe anemia, malnutrition, etc., and unique endocrine diseases, such as "obesity and reproductive inability dystrophy"; Some endocrine disorders in the body, such as adrenal glands, thyroid glands, pancreas and other dysfunctions. For these reasons, you may not have menstruation. However, amenorrhea caused by these conditions, as long as the disease is cured, menstruation will naturally occur.

The editor of Weiwei Health Network warmly reminds: If you find amenorrhea, you must seek medical attention in time. Otherwise, the longer the amenorrhea, the more the uterus will shrink and the treatment will be less effective. The question of whether amenorrhea can be cured in adolescent women depends on the cause of amenorrhea.
