What Are The Reasons For A Missed Period?
Question: please im not getting my mentrations for the past three months now but im not pregant
Brief Answer:
Can be due to many causes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The reasons for delayed periods may be hormonal imbalance, emotional upset, anxiety, stress, or other medical conditions that affect the ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland. Hypothyroidism, post-pill amennorhea, 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 as pregnancy is not there.
Please visit your gynecologist to undergo a physical checkup and also to undergo relevant investigations required in your case to find out the cause so that treatment can be given accordingly.
I hope this answers your query.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
