Absence of menstruation - amenorrhea
Why long there is no monthly? The disease, characterized by the absence of blood from the uterus, is called amenorrhoea. It can be primary and secondary.
Primary character is amenorrhea in young girls, when due to certain characteristics of the body, menstruation does not occur. In accordance with this, there is a true absence of menstruation and a false one. False secretions of excretions are observed with difficulty of outflow of blood from the uterus. For example, infection of the hymen or atresia of the vagina. Thus the uterine cycle is preserved, the hormonal background of the girl is in order.
Absence of menstruation with true amenorrhea is observed in pathological conditions associated with lesion of target organs or hormonal imbalance in the body.
Thus, the development of the primary absence of menarche can include:
- abnormal nutrition of the mother during pregnancy
- the impact of alcohol and drugs on the fetus
Hereditary predisposition
- genetic diseases in parents
Premature birth
- artificial feeding of a child
- Stress in early childhood girls.
Secondary amenorrhea is formed after the establishment of the normal menstrual cycle, and is associated with the impact of external factors. The absence of menstruation can be associated with a violation of the communication between the cortex and the ovary, but it can also be caused by the direct pathology of the internal genital organs.
However, before discussing possible diseases leading to the disappearance of menstruation, it is necessary to dwell on physiological conditions accompanied by the same symptom.
If a woman complains that she does not have a monthly 4 months or more, then the first thing to think about is pregnancy. Often there is a situation where a weak half of the population relies only on one negative result of a rapid pregnancy test. But after all, the chorionic gonadotropin begins to appear in the blood not on the first day of fertilization, but the sensitivity of the tests is also different. Therefore, it is first necessary to make sure that the patient is not pregnant.
The second point is long and exhausting diets, daily exercise and endless stress. All this can also cause the absence of menstruation, with the exclusion of another pathology.
Diseases that can lead to amenorrhea.
1. Abortion and aspiration vacuum.
Every woman should understand that any invasive intervention entails many consequences. Normal piercings can cause sepsis, not to mention abortion.
More often than not, abortion is accompanied by a hormonal "explosion", which is why the cycle is restored for a long time, and sometimes a woman can not do without the help of hormonal drugs.
2. Inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system of a weak half of the population is one of the most frequent causes of amenorrhea. This leads to inadequacy of the endometrium and reflex regulation of the menstrual cycle is disrupted.
3. Endocrine pathological processes can provoke the absence of menstruation, and quite a long time. Until the cause of the underlying disease is eliminated, the cycle will not recover.
4. Violation of the number of sex hormones - one of the most severe forms of menstrual irregularity. Women note the absence of menstruation for more than three months. In this case, the cycle is never constant, there may be menstruation twice a month, and then a pause for 4-5 weeks.
In this situation, a woman needs a full examination and clarification of the cause of hormonal disorders. Treatment consists in the appointment of synthetic hormone preparations taking into account the woman's own background.
