What Causes Pain In The Nipples And Excessive Vaginal Discharge?
I took Birth control,injectable that last for just 3months, once in a year, November 2015 and December 2016. In 2015, I had my normal menstral cycle but the one I took in 2016 caused me like 2months delay. However, since September, 2017 I have not seen my menses and I do not meet my husband all this while, until January,2018.Few days after the intercourse my nipples were paining me and I had thick whitish discharge for like a week and I experience small watery discharge after that till now. I am 43 years, I will be 44years this year. From September, 2017 till now February, 2018 no menses. What can be the cause please? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are different causes for delayed or irregular periods.
The most common cause are-
(1)perimenopause or menopause
(2) pregnancy
(3)abnormal levels of thyroid hormone (4) side effect of medication but the hormone injection would generally wear off if it is not given as scheduled (5)high levels of a hormone called Prolactin (6)emotional illness or stress
(7)physical illness
(8)polycystic ovarian hormone
Blood tests and imaging would be needed to identify any of these.
You should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
