Amenorrhea
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
If menstruation does not appear when expected, whether it has never started or has stopped for several cycles, this is called amenorrhea, a sign that can have many origins.
Common causes: Pregnancy, hormonal changes, stress, intense exercise, low weight, thyroid or ovarian problems, among others, can play a role.
When to see a doctor? It is worth consulting when a period is absent without explanation, is accompanied by other symptoms, or raises concern about fertility.
Which specialist treats it? The OB-GYN is the one who studies the hormonal and reproductive causes, relying on the geneticist in selected cases. A professional evaluation makes it possible to pinpoint the origin and clarify the picture.
