Having Osteoporosis And All Kind Of Back Problems Due To Absence Of Periods. What Could Be The Reason For Delay In Periods?

Likely to be a hormonal disorder.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The absence of periods at your age is not likely to be due to menopause.
The reasons of absence of periods may be hormonal imbalance, emotional upset, anxiety, stress, or other medical conditions that affect the ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland. Hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome or less frequently a pituitary tumor causing high prolactin levels or a hypothalamic disease are other causes that may be the cause here.
Please visit your gynecologist to undergo physical check up and also to undergo relevant investigations required in your case to find out the cause so that treatment can be given accordingly.
You will need an ultrasound examination and a few blood tests to find out the hormonal imbalance.
Meanwhile you can start with other phasic birth control pill after consulting with your gynecologist to have lesser side effects like nausea.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
