Exercise leads to amenorrhea

summary

Before my menstruation, I was quite normal, and then I occasionally had amenorrhea. After finding out amenorrhea, after the doctor's timely treatment, now the condition is gradually improving. For exercise induced amenorrhea, let me tell you.

Exercise leads to amenorrhea

First: sports can reduce body fat and achieve the effect of weight loss. However, due to the special physiological factors, sometimes women still need a certain amount of fat to maintain the operation of menstruation. If the body weight is less than 10% to 15% of the normal body weight, or the proportion of fat in the body is too low, less than 17% of the body weight, the body lacks the fat to make estrogen raw materials, which will affect the normal level of estrogen, thus interfering with the formation and cycle of normal menstruation. When the amount of fat is too low, it may also cause the body to convert normal estrogen into another inactive estrogen. Strict sports training will not only reduce weight, but also cause great pressure on the body.

Second: exercise can naturally form a sedative substance in the body. This sedative can make people feel relaxed and relieve stress effectively. This is why sometimes after intense exercise, there will be a sense of relaxation and happiness. But the high concentration of endorphin will affect the normal hormone operation of the brain and the menstrual cycle. These factors may cause the decrease of estrogen, the stop of ovulation and the stop of menstruation.

Third: Women's excessive exercise or excessive weight loss will cause amenorrhea, when these factors stop, menstruation can slowly return to normal. Therefore, women in the process of exercise weight loss should be concerned about the menstrual cycle, so as not to eventually lead to amenorrhea, sometimes can also avoid osteoporosis symptoms. If menstruation does not return to normal after a considerable period of time, cycle therapy can be carried out under the guidance of doctors, which can receive good results. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also has a unique effect on menstrual disorders. Fortunately, once the menstrual cycle returns to normal, these women's chances of pregnancy are almost unaffected.
