Brief Answer:
Can be due to hormonal failure.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Not having periods for last 8 years can be due to a hormonal failure or menopause. You need to get a detailed hormonal analysis done after consulting your gynecologist. Raised levels of FSH will be suggestive of menopause.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Menopause is not likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
At the young age of 22 menopause is not likely. This can happen due to a chronic illness, weakness, anaemia, low levels of thyroid hormone, pituitary failure or infections like genital tuberculosis. You need to consult your gynaecologist and get a few investigations done to find the exact cause.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
