Prevention is better than cure! Learn how to reduce the risk of secondary amenorrhea with simple lifestyle changes.
Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle
One of the best prevention strategies is maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Ensure a healthy diet, regular moderate exercise, and manage stress effectively. These habits promote hormonal balance and support overall menstrual health.
