Menstruation can also have abnormal conditions in daily life, especially amenorrhea, which is more worthy of our attention. In daily life, some young women may also experience amenorrhea, and the specific reasons should be clear to us.
Does exercise really cause amenorrhea
At present, it has not been confirmed whether menstrual abnormalities are caused by exercise, therefore, factors related to pregnancy or other diseases that may cause menstrual abnormalities should also be ruled out. Many athletes believe that menstrual abnormalities are a normal result of extensive exercise, but in most cases, short-term amenorrhea may not bring many negative consequences to life, but it is safer to confirm that there are no significant reproductive system issues.
Once your doctor rules out the possibility of pregnancy or other disorders, he may simply ask you to wait and see again. Normally, menstruation will return to normal within a few months. If your temporary amenorrhea has not disappeared, you should consider whether to stop and readjust your body's biological clock. Most players return to normal after reducing their exercise volume.
Causes of amenorrhea
1. Amenorrhea caused by mental stimulation: This is a common cause of female menstrual disorder and amenorrhea, mainly due to the pressure of study, work and life, depression, excessive tension, severe mental stimulation, etc., which affects the function of the hypothalamus through the neuroendocrine pathway of the cerebral cortex hypothalamus, or through the brain limbic system, and the abnormal secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone in the hypothalamus
2. Pituitary diseases (such as pituitary adenomas) amenorrhea: Pituitary adenomas are common intracranial benign tumors, mainly originating from the anterior pituitary lobe. They are more common between the ages of 30 and 40. After suffering from pituitary adenomas, abnormal secretion of pituitary hormones causes metabolic disorders and organ damage. Tumor compression causes a decrease in secretion of other pituitary hormones, a decrease in related target line function, and corresponding dysfunction. Pituitary adenomas have many clinical symptoms, manifested as terminal hypertrophy or megalomania, amenorrhea Overflow or decreased function, etc
3. Ovarian amenorrhea: When the levels of ovarian sex hormones decrease and the endometrium does not undergo periodic changes, it is called ovarian amenorrhea. Premature ovarian failure and polycystic ovary syndrome are common.
(1) Premature ovarian failure: Generally, after 40 years of age, the ovarian function of women gradually declines, but due to genetic, autoimmune factors, abnormal regulation of galactose metabolism, radiotherapy, infection, strong emotional stimulation, immune drugs, etc., the follicles in the ovary are consumed or damaged, and the ovaries are removed surgically.
