Is it normal for a woman not to have her period for a year?

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Is it normal for a woman not to have her period for a year?

Doctor's answer:

For women, it refers to the transitional period when ovarian function gradually declines from a vigorous state to complete disappearance, including menopause and the period before and after menopause. However, based on your current age, the cessation of menstruation is abnormal. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital to check the six female hormones. Having an intrauterine device (IUD) can also cause secondary amenorrhea, but considering the patient's age, it is advisable to check gynecological endocrinology. You can first take traditional Chinese medicine for regulation.
