| In general, physical activity may need to be reduced or limited when symptoms are present. Specific restrictions or accommodations depend on underlying cause and resulting treatment. Women with amenorrhea caused by regular, heavy physical exercise and associated lean body mass may need to reduce their levels of activity and increase their proportion of body fat for regular menstrual cycles to resume. Pregnancy and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures may require time off from work. The necessary amount of time off depends on the extent of the procedure. Diagnostic laparoscopy may only require a few days for recovery, but abdominal hysterectomy may require 6 to 8 weeks off from work. |
