What is the cause of no menses for three month and no pregnancy?
Women stop menstruating after menopause; and the years before menopause may include longer times between periods (menses). However, if a women is not middle age or approaching menopause than there are other underlying conditions which must be considered. The most common cause is anemia (low red blood cell count). This is typically a nutritional deficiency either from lack of iron, lack of b12, lack of folate or numerous other vitamins and minerals your body requires for production of red blood cells. A very common cause of no menses is a an extreme change in eating habits which can lead to a deficiency in those vitamins and minerals. For example many women who switch to vegan diets and cut out all meat products find themselves very low on iron and b12; this can lead to anemia and stop the menses due to lack of blood. Though there are ways to incorporate both iron and b12 into a vegan diet, the fastest sources for both are from meat; and removing meat completely from a persons diet without planning accordingly to supplement the now missing nutrition leads to imbalances in the body which may lead to anemia. I would suggest consulting a doctor. He will be able to inform you of your nutritional needs and test for any missing vitamins and minerals in your system. This is far safer than trying to adjust your diet to any extreme changes on your own. Also, any other causes of lack of menses are potentially even more dangerous than just anemia and should be discussed with your doctor.
