Amenorrhea

PrintPrint

Amenorrhea is the absence of a menstrual period. Primary amenorrhea is when a young woman has not yet had a period by age 16. Secondary amenorrhea describes someone who used to have a regular period but then it stopped for at least three months.

Amenorrhea can be caused by any number of changes in the organs, glands, and hormones involved in menstruation. Possible causes of primary amenorrhea (when a woman never gets her first period) include:

  • Failure of the ovaries (female sex organs that hold eggs).
  • Problems in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or the pituitary gland (a gland in the brain that makes hormones involved in menstruation).
  • Poorly formed reproductive organs.

Common causes of secondary amenorrhea (when a woman who has had normal periods stops getting them) include:

  • Pregnancy
  • Breast feeding
  • Stopping the use of birth control
  • Menopause
  • Some birth control methods
