Amenorrhea is divided into primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea, so for women with amenorrhea, it is necessary to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. Primary amenorrhea mainly refers to the condition where menstruation has not yet started at the age of 18, and most people are unable to engage in normal sexual activity or have fertility. How is primary amenorrhea caused?
There are many reasons that can cause primary amenorrhea:
1. Disease factors, such as malnutrition, anemia, severe tuberculosis, thyroid and adrenal diseases, can lead to amenorrhea in women.
2. Congenital factors, such as the presence of the uterus, vagina, hymen, etc., can also lead to amenorrhea due to congenital atresia. Some may have menstruation, but the menstrual blood cannot flow out, which belongs to pseudoamenorrhea or hidden amenorrhea.
3. Some women have incomplete reproductive organs, such as underdeveloped ovaries or damaged ovaries, which can also lead to primary amenorrhea.
For women with primary amenorrhea, timely treatment is necessary, otherwise it may affect future pregnancies. Primary amenorrhea is different from episodic amenorrhea, so it is important to know which type of amenorrhea it is and treat it accordingly. Primary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation, while secondary amenorrhea refers to the cessation of menstruation due to certain reasons. The causes of amenorrhea are different, so the treatment methods adopted are also different.
