HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different possible causes of missed periods, at your age, perimenopause is possible.
Perimenopause is the time period before menopause occurs.
The other causes are: (1) emotional or physical stress or illness
(2)polycystic ovarian syndrome
(3)thyroid disease
(4)high levels of prolactin
Your doctor may want to consider blood tests for the thyroid hormone and prolactin if the problem continues.
I hope this helps
