Menopause and breast milk

Amenorrhea is when menstruation stops for at least 6 months. Amenorrhea can be divided into two categories: one is physiological amenorrhea. That is, a woman's menstrual period does not flow for a certain period of time due to certain physiological reasons, such as during pregnancy, lactation, postmenopause, etc .; the other is pathological amenorrhea, which means that menstruation does not flow due to some pathological reasons Caused by systemic or local lesions. Galactorrhea is an abnormal phenomenon of milk release during non-lactation. It may be caused by some physiological diseases, or it may be caused by drugs or adverse stimuli. Therefore, when this condition occurs, in addition to paying attention to breast hygiene, the cause should be identified and targeted treatment should be performed. A woman's persistent lactation during non-postpartum lactation or one year after cessation of breastfeeding indicates that she has had galactorrhea. If lactation is accompanied by amenorrhea, it is called galactorrhea. Most patients with serum prolactin that exceeds the normal high limit (125 mg / L) are hyperprolactinemia. Lactation-amenorrhea syndrome, also known as galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome, refers to a pathological condition with lactation and amenorrhea as the main clinical features. Strictly speaking, it is not a disease, but can be caused by different diseases, but Syndromes with common clinical characteristics.
