The severe winter has passed and the spring is full. I believe many women who love beauty, especially young female friends, have begun to take stock of wardrobes, match spring clothes and put weight loss on the agenda.
The so-called “one fat destroys everything” seems that every woman is afraid of getting fat and remembers to lose weight, which also includes many women who are already normal or even thin.
In order to get slimmer, many women do not hesitate to diet, take weight-loss pills or overdo physical exercise to achieve the expected results quickly. As a result, in a short period of time, the weight loss is indeed rapid, but the [big aunt] who originally reported on time every month took French leave.
Patient Xiao Lin is a little girl who has just turned 20 years old. Her facial features are very beautiful, but her figure is too thin.
When I first entered Director Xin Li’s clinic, the mother who accompanied Xiao Lin to see the doctor looked sad and said that the child had not menstruated for nearly half a year and was too anxious to know what to do.
After carefully asking the reason, I learned that the little girl was studying in a film and television media college, and her classmates all took thinness as their beauty. Therefore, she began to eat almost no staple food and often used fruits instead of meals. Once in a while, she felt guilty and used the method of picking the root of her tongue to induce vomiting, and later even developed to the point of anorexia.
Height 166 cm, weight is only 80 kg, body mass index BMI also dropped from 17.3 before weight loss to 14.5, which eventually led to menstruation closure, breast shrinkage, frequent constipation, and people also faded and did not work hard. This told the mother about her own situation.
According to Dr. Li’s examination, Xiao Lin has seen a serious decline in various neuroendocrine hormones, including abnormal secretion of LH, FSH, ATCH, estrogen and other hormones, resulting in medical hypothalamic amenorrhea, which can also be called [severe amenorrhea]. Perhaps it is because of her young age that the little girl has not realized the harm of amenorrhea, but she has worried her parents and doctors.
When a woman’s body mass drops to less than 15% of the standard body mass, her menstruation is likely to stop. This is severe amenorrhea, which is common in young women and is mostly caused by factors such as work pressure, diet control, excessive exercise and depression.
Weight loss can directly or indirectly interfere with hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis function through brain neuroendocrine system, which is the key to maintain women’s health and fertility. Once damaged, menstrual disorder is inevitable. Moreover, the amenorrhea caused by this kind of weight loss often lasts for more than 3-6 months. When women or their families realize the seriousness of the problem, they often have been ill for more than half a year, and even some have not had menstrual cramps for more than a year.
Serious amenorrhea has become a social affluence, following obesity and other harmful to women’s health, causing female infertility culprit. Because of its great harm, long reversal time of the disease, easy recurrence, has become a disease that gynecologists gradually pay attention to.
There are many examples of Dr. Li’s outpatient service similar to Xiao Lin’s. Some sensitive women have lost less than 10 kg of weight, resulting in amenorrhea.
This kind of situation mostly occurs in young women in their 20s, which may also be related to the fact that young girls of this age are more fond of beauty, and most girls are normal or thin before losing weight.
After listening to Dr. Li’s introduction, Xiao Lin finally accepted the idea that bone feeling is not equal to aesthetic feeling. Xiao Lin’s mother also anxiously asked about the treatment of amenorrhea and whether it would affect future fertility problems.
The treatment of severe amenorrhea requires artificial supplement of physiological amount of estrogen combined with psychological intervention. Of course, it is also very important to adhere to healthy eating habits and maintain normal and stable weight, but clinical data show that weight recovery alone cannot make menstruation recover spontaneously.
As the treatment time for ovulatory menstrual cycle recovery is relatively long, patients with marriage and childbearing requirements in a short period of time need not worry, and there are also good clinical methods.
Watching Xiao Lin and her daughter walk out of the clinic can’t help but make people sigh. The creator’s magic is subtle. The physical appearance of men and women is different. Women’s moderate subcutaneous fat not only brings beauty, but also brings health. Talking about beauty without health is no different from the old saying [how can skin be attached without hair].
May women who love beauty all over the world learn from [Xiao Lin] and not lose weight blindly. If obesity does exist, we should also lose weight scientifically under the guidance of experts. Truly protect their own beauty.
