Amenorrhea is the absence of periods (menstrual bleeding) for more than 6 months. Absence of periods during 2-6 months called oligomenorrhea. Amenorrhea could be primary or secondary.
• Primary amenorrhea is the absence of menstrual bleeding and secondary sexual characteristics (for example, breast development and pubic hair) in a girl by age 14 years or the absence of menstrual bleeding with normal development of secondary sexual characteristics in a girl by age 16-17 years.
• Secondary amenorrhea is the absence of periods in girls and women who had been menstruating but later stop menstruating for 6 or more months in the absence of pregnancy, menopause, hormonal treatment and/or hormonal contraception.
This could be due to: * Pregnancy
* Premature Menopause (this can affect women in their early twenties)
* Weight Loss/Gain
* Forms of medication including contraceptive pills or injections
* Drug Abuse
* Stress
* Hormonal Imbalances
* Polycystic Ovaries
If you have just started it's perfectly normal to have missed your period for a few months, some girls get there period and then don't get it for another 8 months or so. So as long as you haven't had your period for more than 2-3 years your good. But if you have then i would see a doctor.
Hormones start and stop periods. At certain ages hormones will start periods and a girl becomes a woman. Then, when she is older there is less hormones and she will be in menopause and not have a period.
It's very possible that's its just a random occurance. Or you're pregnant. Or you are menopausal. Or you are chronically underweight from a fashionable eating disorder.
Eather if She's pregnant or going though menopause.
It depends on age. If you are 35+, it could be menopause.
According to WebMD, the average age at menopause (when your periods have stopped for a full year) is 51, but it is not the same age for everyone.
My period stopped after my 4th month of pregnancy
You may have irregular or stopped menstrual periods,if you have high levels of stress.
It depends why your periods have stopped. You need to find out why.
Smetimes this happens because your body is getting use to your new self.... Missed periods happen a lot when you loose or gain weight and also when you are depressed
Sometimes hey have their periods interupted.
It is normal to have light periods or no period at all while birth control.
You answered it right there, menopause hun. your periods have stopped.
Yes. I was on Depo for approximately 10 years with NO period and then to the pill for about a year with controlled periods. I have since stopped taking ANY type of birth control and have had long 2 week periods and even two full periods a month. It will eventually regulate if not ask Dr. about Provera.
Are you sure you have not changed your diet or started exercising a lot? If not, you should see a doctor about this. When the menstruation stays away for months it is a sign something is wrong. Speak to your mom.
could be diet, stress, other medical reasons, being pregnant, go c ur doc,
It depends on the reason your periods stopped. If your hormones are functioning properly you have a period about two weeks after you ovulate, if you are not pregnant.
