Hello Anonymous,

If pregnancy is not a possible cause for the absence of a period for three months, you need to consider a hormonal imbalance.

The symptoms of lower abdominal bloating and occasional abdominal hardness might indicate a gastrointestinal or gynecological problem.

Do you actually feel a mass in your abdomen?

You need to mention this to your mother. She needs to schedule an appointment for you with your pediatrician.
