Amenorrhea refers to a condition in which a woman's normal menstrual cycle is interrupted, resulting in the absence of menstruation for three consecutive months or longer, after excluding pregnancy. Amenorrhea may be caused by various factors, including but not limited to: endocrine disorders, ovarian dysfunction, excessive weight loss or obesity, excessive mental stress, abnormal thyroid function, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The main approaches for managing amenorrhea include the following:

1. Physiological factors: If amenorrhea is caused by mental stress or lifestyle factors, it can be improved by adjusting daily habits, such as ensuring adequate sleep, maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in moderate exercise, and receiving psychological counseling.

2. Endocrine disorders: Long-term sleep deprivation or significant mental stress can lead to hormonal imbalances. In such cases, medication may be considered, such as Wuji Baifeng Pills or Aifu Nuangong Pills, which can help regulate the endocrine system and restore the menstrual cycle.

3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): This is a common reproductive endocrine and metabolic disorder that can cause amenorrhea. Under a doctor's guidance, oral medications such as Diane-35 can be used effectively to gradually restore normal menstrual cycles.

In addition to the above methods, improving diet, increasing physical activity, and maintaining a positive mood can also help regulate the endocrine system and promote the return of menstruation.
