No Period for 1 year and doctor says it's ok. Advise? I

I am 29 years old and I haven't had my period for one year, 2 years prior to that my period started to have 3 months break in between. I went to a doctor and he said it is totally fine, women are not supposed to have their periods every month. This doctor was a respectable doctor with experience, he was like at his mid - 70.. come on! he should know and be a good one. Another doctor prescribed me some medication, but it didn’t help
The only way is to get my period back is to start contraception pills, but I don't need them as I have no regular sexual life. Actually, I don't have it at all. And I don’t want to harm my body without a need.

I don't consider myself underweight or being too much under stress, ok I am half way through my PhD, working as a consultant, last year I moved the countries, and I don't have relatives and friends around, but I have never had support though my entire life. Perhaps, lots of things happen in the last 5 years in my life, but I don't feel stressed. I do run half-marathons, yoga, pilates, and all sorts of things.

I also have two major diagnoses - I am suffering from Constant Constipation (HUGE PROBLEM), but I eat extremely healthy. And I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) - this might relate to no menstruation.

So, I am basically confused and I don't know what to do.. Contraceptive pills, new diet, constipation, another doctor visit??!! I just keep spending money on doctors, medications, herbal supplements, and so on.

Advice, thoughts will be really appreciated. Thank you
