Question

Help! Its been almost a year that Im not having my menstruation. I went to the doctor and she gave me medicine but after a couple of months my monthly menstruation is gone...again.There must be something wrong with me!

Answer 1

have you lost a lot of weight in the past year or are you underweight? because often a sudden loss/gain in weight can stop periods all together...or has there been any major change in your lifestyle recently? periods can be affected by anything such as stress, a change in routine, hormone levels etc, i havent had an absense of a period for a year but last year i was on my period non stop for 4 months! your menstration can often be really unstable, i think you should go back to the doctor and tell her that it only helped for a short time and she should be able to help you get them back to normal. often they give women the pill because the hormones within it can help to balance out the period and i imagine it would help your menstration begin again. or if its weight related she could help put you on a diet either for losing or gaining weight...i really think going to the doctor is the best option as she should be able to sort you out with something! hope this helped

Answer 2

Totally normal. You might skip a month or two or more. Then have a longer or shorter period. Then you might go back to a normal period. You get the picture.

This process is important, though, because your body is learning to settle into a regular menstrual cycle. In a few months, your body should figure out which cycle is best for you. That might mean a period every 20 days, 28 days, 34 days, or something in between. Some girls have irregular periods their whole lives. But if the bleeding does not become more regular, see a doctor, especially if you’re sexually active.

Go back to the Doctor so they can run more test.
