How Does Portal Hypertension Affect the Female Reproductive System?
Portal hypertension can have significant effects on the female reproductive system. One of the primary concerns is the impact it has on the menstrual cycle. Women with portal hypertension may experience menstrual irregularities such as amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) or oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation). These abnormalities can be attributed to hormonal imbalances and the effects of chronic liver disease.
