Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If there is possibility of pregnancy you have to rule out abortion first.
If the chance of pregnancy is not there, then the other possible causes are:
Hormonal imbalance
Endometrial abnormalities
Usually menopause cannot be expected this much early. So you once consult gynecologist, get examined and go for one ultrasound to find out the possible cause for your problem and take treatment accordingly. Meanwhile you take antispasmodics to get relief from pain.

Take care.

Hello, and thank you for posting on Healthcare Magic!
Is it possible that you could be pregnant? The symptoms you are describing sound like you became pregnant (hence no periods for a couple months) and then had a miscarriage (the bleeding and crampy abdominal pain).
The other pregnancy related possibility is much more dangerous. You could have an ectopic (or tubal) pregnancy. This means that the fertilized egg gets 'stuck' in the fallopian tube, instead of descending into the uterus as it normally does. The embryo begins growing in the confined space of the tube, causing severe pain as it stretches the fallopian tube. If this goes on long enough the tube will rupture, causing massive bleeding in your abdomen. It is possible to bleed to death very quickly from this process.
Even if there is no chance this could be related to a pregnancy, you need to be seen either by a general practice/ER doctor or an obstetrician/gynecologist. You need to be seen quickly, as in today. So if you can't get an office appointment, go to the ER.
I hope I have given you some useful information, and wish you the best of health.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kinney
