Question: Hi, I’m 18 years old and I have always had regular periods. I got my period at age 11, and even then, I was always regular. However, this last month, I completely skipped my period. This had me concerned because I am definitely not pregnant (I have never been sexually active), and I’m not on birth control or anything. Would could it be? Should I be concerned?

Hi

It is quite common for the periods to be irregular at some point at this age.
Stress ,over /under eating ,heavy exercises all can cause this.
If you are over weight ,get a hormonal evaluation esply Thyroid and prolactin along with an ultrasound scan to rule out PCOS.
