exercise amenorrhea

Introduction

Introduction Young female athletes, amenorrhea that occurs during sports competitions or intense training, is called "sports amenorrhea." Some young women may also have amenorrhea during their travels or intense work and study. The pathogenesis is similar to this disease, and can also be treated with reference to exercise amenorrhea. The disease is often associated with excessive mental stress, leading to endocrine dysfunction. Chinese medicine believes that due to excessive mental stress, the movement of air-conditioners is reversed, and the dysfunction of the rushing function is caused by the bloody sea.

Cause

Cause

Many diseases are related to excessive mental stress, leading to endocrine dysfunction. In the absence of discomfort, there is no need to treat it. Once the tension is relieved, the menstrual period will come. When there are symptoms of discomfort, and the tension has long been lifted and there is no menstrual cramps, it should be actively treated.

Exercise amenorrhea belongs to hypothalamic amenorrhea, which is the reaction of the body to strong external stimulation. Strenuous exercise is a strong stress. The body produces corticotropin-releasing hormone under stress, activates the sympathetic nervous system, stimulates the pituitary to secrete stress hormones, and the adrenocorticotropic hormone releases the hypothalamic gonadotropin release. Hormone secretion is inhibited, resulting in decreased gonadotropin secretion, causing amenorrhea.

Exercise amenorrhea is not necessarily due to weight loss, but also has a certain relationship with the reduction of body fat content and insufficient protein content in the diet. When the body weight is reduced by 10% to 15% and the body fat content is lost by 30%, amenorrhea will occur. How much exercise can cause amenorrhea is related to the individual's basic conditions. When the amount of exercise is reduced, the body's stress is gradually reduced or disappeared, and the menstrual cycle can be gradually restored. Therefore, it is not necessary to treat without any symptoms of discomfort. Once there is discomfort, and the tension has long been lifted and menstrual cramps are not seen, they should be treated aggressively.
