Patient's question:
My girlfriend is 21 years old. She hasn't had her period for three months. I've taken several tests, but she's not pregnant. What could be the reason? She doesn't want to go for a check-up. I'm seeking help.Doctor's answer:
If pregnancy is ruled out, the absence of menstruation in March may be considered secondary amenorrhea. The causes of secondary amenorrhea include: psychological factors or changes in the external environment, among others. Other diseases that can cause secondary amenorrhea include endometrial tuberculosis, intrauterine adhesions caused by damage to the endometrium following multiple uterine cavity surgeries, as well as polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian failure. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for relevant examinations to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
