Just stopped menstruating — could this indicate estrogen deficiency?
Disease description:
I haven't had my period for over half a year, and I've noticed my skin has become worse with the appearance of dark spots. Could the recent resumption of menstruation after调理 (regulation/treatment) indicate estrogen deficiency?

The recent cessation of menstruation and menstrual regulation is due to insufficient estrogen. During menopause, ovarian function declines and hormone levels drop, which may lead to the complete cessation of menstruation. Menopause is mostly related to endocrine disorders, uterine diseases, and psychological factors. It is best to regulate diet to promote the body's natural production of female estrogen. Soy products contain abundant soy isoflavones, which can help increase estrogen levels in women.
