are there any natural treatments for amenorrhrea due to anovulation?

Question

Can HGH therapy work for treatment of secondary amenorrhea?

Answer 1

Remedies for periods: Not having a period can be a sign of early pregnancy, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalance such as pco, prolonged use of birth control, stress, too much exercise, anorexia etc. If you have spoken with your doctor and they say this is just one anovulation period, natural supplements that balance hormones are vitex , oil of primrose (better for progesterone).

Answer 2

First : First see your doctor to determine if a treatable cause for your amenorrhrea can be identified. One potential adjunct to your treatment can be acupuncture.

Answer 3

Yes: It is always wise to determine and address the underlying cause. Dr. Patel gave a good list of potential causes so it is wise to have your doctor assess for those. Sometimes no cause is obvious and natural therapies like acupuncture, herbs and homeopathy can help. Please get checked for thyroiditis; thyroid problems are a common factor.

Answer 4

Excessive - yes: Excessive exercise and stress are known to induce amenorrhea via a mechanism involving the brain and the pituitary gland within it. This is particularly a problem in teenage girls who take part in competitive sports or long distance running (or have eating disorders), where such can lead to loss of bone mineral density due to relative estrogen deficiency, and even fractures.

Answer 5

Yes: Women losing weight significantly and rapidly can loose their periods and develop amenorrhea. Amenorrhea is a well recognized consequence of anorexia.

Answer 7

No period by age 16: Primary amenorrhea describes a situation in which a girl does not have her first period by age 16. This may or may not be associated with lack of physical changes such as a growth spurt, hair growth in the pubic and underarm areas, and breast development.

Answer 8

Thanks for asking!: Menarche [ menstrual cycle] is one of the latest signs of puberty .Primary amenorrhea is absence of menarche with normal pubertal development.

Answer 9

Never had a period: If your brain isn't signalling for an egg release from your ovary, you won't have a signal for your periods either; that's usually the cause of amenorrhea. Often it's a hormonal imbalance--Thyroid, Prolactin, LH, FSH, Hcg should be checked. Your doctor can also induce a period as well w/ OCPs. If you've NEVER had a period, you should get an US to make sure you have normal uterus/vagina/ovaries.

Answer 10

Hormonal, anatomic: Secondary amenorrhea refers to absence of menstruation, after previous onset at normal age. Anatomic exam and scans (ultrasound or ct) can assess for obstructive processes. Hormonal testing can assess for thyroid dysfunction, pituitary dysfunction, excessive prolactin, and excessive androgens (either from ovary or adrenal) among others. These hormone problems interfere with regular menstruation.

Answer 11

Thanks for asking!: A good history and exam by your gynecologist and some tests including blood test, ultrasound and laproscopic exam could help diagnose you secondary amenorrhea.

Answer 12

Many: Your primary care physician should always be consulted. She/he then might send you to an obgyn or endocrinologist for further workup.

Answer 13

Ob/Gyn or Endocrin.: Primary amenorrhea is when a girl has not had her period by age 16. Ob/gyns and endocrinologists can talk with the girl and her parents to find out why she has not had her first menstrual period.
