What is amenorrhea? What causes it?



Answers:    The absence of menstruation. There are two primary types of amenorrhea called primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea occurs when menstruation has not started by the age of 16. Secondary amenorrhea occurs when menstruation has begun but has stopped. Lactational amenorrhea is a type of secondary amenorrhea that occurs during breastfeeding. Some women use lactational amenorrhea as a contraceptive. This type of natural family planning is effective only during the first six months of exclusive breastfeeding.

Amenorrhea is the term used to describe the absence of a menstrual period. There are two main types of amenorrhea.

Primary amenorrhea occurs when a woman has not begun menstruation by the age of 16 as a result of hormone deficiency, or do not have enough body fat.

Secondary amenorrhea develops when a woman has had otherwise normal periods for a long time, and then begins to have no menstrual period for more than three months. This is usually as a result of a drop in hormone levels or other complications affecting the reproductive system.

I've got secondary amenorrhea, which was caused by PCOS, and low body fat due to an eating disorder. But it can be caused by many different factors. It is best to go to your doctor and have tests done to find out what is causing it.

Amenorrhea is the absence of a period in a woman that is old enough to have a child. It is caused by stress, extreme exercise habits, being extremely overweight, rapid loss of weight or being too thin, tumors, and certain birth control to name a few causes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amenorrhea
