4 months absence of period

[roseynado]

Hi, I'm a 20 years old female who has been suffering from the absence of menstruation for approximately 4 months, the last time i had my period was in 26 June. I'm single and there ain't no sexual intercourses AT ALL, im a virgin. There ain't no specific reason, but I think it might be related to the change of my eating habits, since I suddenly lost 4 kilos and I'm now 50kg, 170cm. I heard about Amenorrhea, do I have it right now? by the way recently i feel a veryyyy mild abdominal pain n my vaginal fluid is thick n increased in execretion. what shall I do?

Thank you loads, I really appreciate it, but I'm extremely frightened. because I'm afraid of being in a big problem, I'm definitely sure you're right, coz before I was really over-exercising and under-nourishing... I think that is so bad :(.
I booked an appointment with a gynechologist. But what do you think she would do to get my menses back, if the problem is related to a previous overexercising and malnutrition?
Thanks alot again, I'm happy that somebody has finally replied
waiting in advance...

Hello,
What you are having is secondary amenorrhea. Causes of secondary amenorrhea include stress and anxiety, malnutrition, depression, overexercising, sudden weight loss or gain (obesity),thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalance due to polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). Most of these causes have been ruled out. Sometimes tumors of the ovaries and brain may also cause absence of menstruation.

I suggest you to get it evaluated from a gynecologist.
I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
