Absence of menstruation( no monthly) - Causes, symptoms and treatment. MF.

Symptoms similar to no menstruation:

• no monthly
• Amenorrhea
• Secondary amenorrhea
• missed menstruation

Although menstruation is a sign of an early pregnancy, the absence of menstruation can be due to a variety of factors and conditions. The term amenorrhea is used by physicians to describe the absence of menstruation. Primary amenorrhea( when a woman has never had menstruation) is very rare, while secondary amenorrhea( the absence of menstruation in a previously menstruating woman) is much more common. Menstruation may be irregular during the first few years after the onset of the first menstruation of the woman and during the menopause( or the period preceding menopause).Secondary amenorrhea is the absence of more than 3 menstrual cycles in a row. The causes of secondary amenorrhea are usually the same, which can lead to a delay in menstruation.

If a woman is not pregnant, the absence of menstruation can be associated with a wide range of physical and emotional conditions, which range from lifestyle to rare and severe diseases. The most common cause of the lack of menstruation is

, a violation of the hormonal balance of the organism, especially with respect to sex hormone levels.

The use of modern oral contraceptive with a low content of hormones often leads to bleeding after stopping the taking of tablets of a certain cycle. Prolonged exposure to a small amount of progestin contained in combined contraceptives reduces the thickness of the inner layer of the uterus - the endometrium, which leads to a decrease in menstrual bleeding, and in some women, to its complete absence.

In any case, in the absence of menstruation, you need a test to exclude pregnancy.

What you need to know and perform in the absence of menstruation:

Before you start taking oral contraceptiveslow-hormonal components you need to warn about the possibility of scanty menses or delay. If menstruation is delayed by the use of birth control pills, you should first carry out a pregnancy test, and then with the onset of menstruation, start taking contraceptives again, since not only tablets do not give 100% of the contraceptive guarantee.

Baseline temperature measurement only in the absence of menstruation also does not give any information about pregnancy and ovulation( and do not believe unverified sites claiming the opposite, where the authors of articles have no medical specialty!)

Identify chorionic gonadotropin HG in the urine( pregnancy test) andserum - exclusion of pregnancy is the most important part of the diagnosis when two or more "menstruation" is delayed.

Ask your doctor to prescribe you another form of oral contraceptive with a low content of hormones. The doctor may prescribe you another contraceptive containing a more active progestin, or a contraceptive pill with a high estrogen content.

If the "menstruation" is delayed for 8-16 months and there is no change in the clinical picture, despite the appointment of another type of oral contraceptive, conduct a more in-depth examination after consultation with the doctor.

How to trigger monthly folk remedies

If the menstrual period is delayed or absent, a pregnancy test should first be done, even if you are being protected. The absence of menstruation is usually caused by serious diseases( endocrine or gynecological) requiring urgent treatment.

Calling monthly with folk remedies without first consulting a doctor is dangerous. Before applying any folk recipes, you need to know your exact diagnosis and take into account the contraindications used by folk remedies.
