Not having a period for more than 3 months is known as Amenorrhea. In nonpregnant women, amenorrhea may result from a variety of factors, including an existing medical condition, lifestyle, emotional distress, hormonal irregularity, or medication. Every effort should be made to determine the exact cause. Specific causes of amenorrhea include:
Dramatic weight loss, particularly from drastic diets, eating disorders includinganorexiaandbulimia, or excessive exercise
Dramatic weight gain or morbid obesity
Malnourishment
Birth defects including lack of a uterus, vagina, or other reproductive organs
Psychological stress—can lead to a hormonal imbalance sufficient to cause amenorrhea.
Medications—some antidepressants, chemotherapeutics, corticosteroids, certain contraceptives.
Chromosomal abnormalities
Hermaphroditism (having both male and female reproductive organs)
Pituitary tumor
Thyroid dysfunction
Uterine scarring
If your doctor is looking at you as if you were speaking another language, get a second opinion. Not having a period for 102 days is only normal when you are pregnant.
