What is the reason for adolescent amenorrhea? Adolescent amenorrhea is a common gynecological disease, and there are many reasons for this situation. When young girls experience amenorrhea, it is important to seek medical attention in a timely manner. What is the reason for adolescent amenorrhea?
Amenorrhea can bring great troubles to young girls, mainly related to whether they can get married and have children after marriage. Overall, women with amenorrhea can get married, but before getting married, the reasons for amenorrhea must be thoroughly examined.
Unlike the menopause of menopausal women, there are two main types of adolescent amenorrhea. One is primary amenorrhea, which means that women over 18 years old still do not have menarche, and the other is secondary amenorrhea, which means that they have had normal menstruation but have not menstruated for more than 6 months due to certain reasons, or have stopped menstruation for more than 3 cycles based on the original menstrual cycle. Here we mainly discuss secondary amenorrhea.
The hazards of secondary amenorrhea
Adolescent amenorrhea may not affect normal life, but if left untreated for a long time, it can lead to secondary sexual characteristics and underdeveloped internal and external reproductive organs such as the uterus, and the appearance of children cannot develop towards mature women, leading to feelings of inferiority.
The causes and treatment methods of amenorrhea in adolescent girls
Because the eggs in the ovaries cannot develop and excrete normally, and reproductive organs such as the uterus do not develop, it can affect future fertility.
Because the ovaries do not ovulate for a long time, it can also increase the possibility of endometrial lesions and even the risk of progression to endometrial cancer.
There are several common reasons:
1. Uterine cause: also known as uterine amenorrhea. Amenorrhea is caused by problems with the uterus, such as congenital absence of uterus, uterine dysplasia, etc., all of which manifest as primary amenorrhea. It is easy to diagnose through B-ultrasound and sex hormone testing in clinical practice, but one thing to note is that in cases of congenital absence of uterus, further chromosomal and genetic testing is needed to determine whether it is a hermaphroditism, especially to determine the presence of hidden testicles, in order to undergo surgery early and prevent the occurrence of cancer. In addition, some lesions involving the endometrium during childhood can also lead to primary amenorrhea, such as endometrial tuberculosis, endometrial schistosomiasis, endometrial suppuration, etc.
