Absence of a period, called amenorrhea, can be from many causes in unpregnant women. It is defined by having previously menstruated on a regular basis, and then missing three or more periods in a row.
You can read more about the specific causes of Amenorrhea, but a few include: dramatic weight loss, an existing medical condition, lifestyle, emotional distress, hormonal irregularity, or medication.
It is important to call your family doctor or Gynecologist, so that you can discuss your specific condition and possible causes. Do you have a Gynecologist?
