I haven't had my period for 5 months, will it lead to amenorrhea?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend went to join the military. Due to the high-intensity training, she hasn't had her period for 5 months. She hasn't been pregnant either. Could she be experiencing amenorrhea? What should she do to restore her normal cycle?

Doctor's answer:

The influence of external factors, such as staying up late, experiencing heatiness, high stress, emotions, medication, and endocrine disorders, can cause delayed menstruation. Generally, a delay of 3 to 7 days is considered normal.
Advice: It is recommended that you avoid staying up late and experiencing heatiness. If this persists for a long time, it would be best to undergo an endocrine panel test to understand your endocrine status.
