Menstruation may cause a lot of trouble for many women, especially during menstruation when there are many uncomfortable symptoms. But if menstruation suddenly stops, it will make women even more worried. Because menstruation is directly related to a woman's physical health, how is amenorrhea caused in women?
1. Ovarian dysfunction: Ovarian dysfunction can lead to amenorrhea, which usually occurs in older women during menopause and is a normal physiological change. Women should pay attention to taking care of themselves and smoothly pass through menopause.
2. Underdeveloped reproductive organs: Underdeveloped reproductive organs are also one of the causes of amenorrhea, such as some women being born without ovaries or having underdeveloped ovaries, leading to ovarian damage. When the ovaries cannot produce progesterone and estrogen, the female endometrium will not shed or undergo periodic changes. Women born without ovaries may experience amenorrhea even if their hormone secretion is normal.
3. Pituitary disorders: Gonadotropins secreted by the pituitary gland can regulate ovarian function. If there is an abnormality in the pituitary gland, it can affect the ovarian function of women. Ovarian function is normal, and the female endometrium will periodically shed, forming menstruation. When ovarian function is affected, it is easy to cause abnormal occurrence of amenorrhea.
