AMENORRHEA: NO MENSTRUATION, A SERIOUS CAUSE OF INFERTILITY

AMENORRHEA:  NO MENSTRUATION, A SERIOUS CAUSE OF INFERTILITY

Hi Friends,

Many of you will say that I have been on break for a while, now indeed you are right, I have been very busy attending to some infertility cases at the clinic, that I have not had time to write a new article to my friends, however I have been true to my word always and answered some phone calls and emails. Some of you visited me at the clinic and I hope our services were satisfactory to you, infact some of you indeed got pregnant after some diagnostic trails and treatments that made my day and made me a happy man.

I did receive many phone enquiries, some reached me, some did not. It is not as if I do not want to answer all the calls, the problems is that I may be attending to a patient, been very busy or in a meeting so  making it difficult to attend to all calls. To make it easy for you to reach me I suggest you send me an SMS Text Message instead of calling, I will reply to all SMS Text Message even if I cannot attend to your calls. So send SMS Text Message  as many as you want, I will reply all.

Infertility as you must have all discovered is really on the increase, the reason is not far fetched, nowadays because of our carrier or chase for self satisfaction and finance many of us  have been getting married in our late thirties and forties unlike our parent and grandparents who got married in their early twenties. In our thirties some of the problems faced are many which may include fibroid infertility, accumulated infections, leading to Fallopian Tubal Blockages and problems of cervical fluid toxicity affecting sperm movement and infertility, other problems are cause of hormonal disorder that can lead to irregular or no menstruation and irregular or no ovulation. 

Infact the topic I simply want to write about today is irregular or no menstruation. In my over 17years of practice I have consistently seen many patients that are suffering from amenorrhea and almost 80% of them are infertile, so making amenorrhea a major cause of infertility.

Amenorrhea is the absent of menstrual period. This is a condition that is known to naturally occur to women who are 48 years and above this condition is called MENOPAUSE, however we have noted that so many younger ladies are now suffering from amenorrhea and almost all of them are infertile except about half of those that have just giving birth to a child, this relatively normal condition is called POST PARTUM AMENORRHEA. Many ladies with post partum amenorrhea are known to go back to menstrual bleeding between one months to one year and are sometimes noted to ovulation even though they do not menstruate and  can still get pregnant in that condition.



While the case of Menopause and Post Partum Amenorrhea are the only cases in nature that amenorrhea is not treated as a bad thing, other cases are bad for your fertility and must be thoroughly investigated and treated. The major cause of amenorrhea is hormonal imbalance, other can be 

[1] malnutrition

[2]  Excessive bleeding which is the opposite called menorrhagia

[3] Low body weight

[4] Prolactinemia (high blood levels of prolactin, a hormone that stimulates secretion of milk from the breasts during breastfeeding)

[5] Anovulation (lack of the release of an egg)

[6] Hyperandrogenemia (high blood levels of male hormones)

[7] Polycystic ovary syndrome (hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age)

[8] Premature ovarian failure

[9] Anatomical abnormalities of the genital tract

[10] Intrauterine adhesions (the opposing surfaces of the uterine cavity stick together), also called Asherman's Syndrome

[11]Imperforate hymen (a hymen in which there is no opening, the membrane completely closes off the vagina)

[12] Transverse vaginal septum (a dividing wall or membrane in the vagina)

[13] Aplasia (absence of an organ or tissue) of the vagina, the cervix, or the uterus

[14] Chronic diseases (for example, tuberculosis)

[15] Excessive weight gain or weight loss

[16] Depression or other psychiatric disorders

[17] Recreational drug abuse

[18] Psychotropic drug use (drugs prescribed to stabilize or improve mood, mental status, or behavior)

[19] Excessive stress

[20] Excessive exercise

[21] Cycle suppression with systemic hormonal contraceptive (birth control) pills

If a lady is suffering from irregular menstruation, little menstruation (oligormenorrhea) or outright no menstruation (Amenorrhea) and have not had a child or had one or two and now desire  to have more, that is primary and secondary infertility respectively, she should summit herself for total infertility checkup such as

1)    3D Transvaginal Scan

2)    Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS)

3)    Hysterosalpinsography  (HSG)

4)    Hormonal Profile Studies

5)    Folliculomentry (Ovulation Tracking) and other tests for infections

These studies will not only test your fertility status but also the reason for not seeing your period which will eventually lead to accurate treatments that can return your period to normal and also improve  your ovulation and fertility.
