Know more about Amenorrhea
When a woman doesn’t have their menstrual periods, Amenorrhea is the medical term we use for the condition. Amenorrhea can be of two different forms. Primary Amenorrhea or Secondary Amenorrhea.
When your period arrives later than usual for the first time, you have primary amenorrhea. The average age range for this is between 14 and 16 years old.

Pregnancy
Stress

Vision shifts.
Nausea
Increased facial hair.
Loss of hair.

Secretion from the breasts that looks like milk.
Diagnosis & Lab Investigation
When diagnosing amenorrhea, a doctor will typically ask a number of questions, such as:
What was your menarche? Or when was your last cycle?
What’s the length of your periods.?
How frequent or infrequent are your periods?
Are you a sexually active person to check chances of pregnancy.
Have you recently put on or lost weight?
How much and how frequently do you work out? Etc.
