Get a second opinion. She could have a thyroid function problem. So seek more medical advice. There has to be a reason.

Lots of women have irregular periods. The fact that she gets them every few months suggests that it may be a hormonal imbalance. Does she also get acne? This is very common. Take her to a GP, they may prescribe some form of contraception. Hormonal imbalances can clear up over time by themselves in lots of cases. Tell her not to worry, just go to the doctor for peace of mind.

It could because you're just starting. When I started, I missed a lot. Even now my mother can go for months without getting her period. Other things need to be taken into consideration though; are you very active or not eating enough? Anorexia or low muscle mass due to playing sports and exercising will cause amenorrhea, which stops your period in an effort to conserve energy for your body. If either of those is true, then that may be a problem that could lead to infertility later in life. If not though, then it's probably just because you're still young.

She need to see a doctor, now!  Could be too many things to even mention.  Trying all kinds of stuff is not the answer, most only hide the symptoms.

Not having a period for 3 months is not something to stress yourself out about. .. Stress is the leading cause of female problems. Lack of activity is also a cause. Weight gain or loss can also be another problem. Illnesses can also as well... Doctor's say that woman should at least have 3-4 periods a year. If we don't have at least that. We are doubling our risk for Ovarian Cancer. Periods are shedding our cervix lining.. without the period our lining continues to grow .. running the risk of problems.Talk to your gyno or family doctor. They can check to see if there is other problems contributing to irregular periods. They will check for Endemetreouises. and Poly cystic Ovaries. and any other possible problems. Good luck and let me know how your doing.

My mom thought she hit menopause really early (37) and didn't have her period for 18 months. Then she went to a routine doctors app. and found out she was two weeks pregnant with me.  Now she is 56 and more regular than ever! These things happen.  I guess my motto is: Ask a doctor, not people online!

I've never been pregnant but I would figure you are pretty much bang on with what you said.  I mean, you hear all of these stories about post partum depression and they can't be all fake so, it would make sense that her hormones are still a mess.  She's been pregnant for 9 months and her body probably hasn't had a chance to flush those hormones out yet.  I'm sure if he gives her some time, she'll accept.

I understand your confusion and frustration.  However, you may be comforted to know that amenorrhea is typically a symptom in and of itself of an underlying condition, but is *rarely* caused by a life-threatening illness. In most instances, symptoms and conditions related to amenorrhea are reversible and treatable.\n\nSecondary amenorrhea happens when a woman who has menstruated previously fails to menstruate for three months. Secondary amenorrhea can be caused by: \n\nPregnancy (the most common cause)\n \nBreastfeeding (lactation) \n\nMenopause, the normal age-related end of menstruation \n\nPremature ovarian failure (menopause before age 40) \n\nHysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) \n\nStopping birth control pills \n\nUse of a long-acting progesterone, such as Depo-Provera, for birth control \n\nTumors of the pituitary gland, especially prolactinomas \n\nPolycystic ovary disease, a condition that causes abnormal levels of estrogen, luteinizing hormone and other hormones\n\nEndocrine disorders such as Cushing's syndrome, in which there are very high levels of cortisol, an adrenal hormone, or hyperthyroidism, abnormally high levels of thyroid hormone\n\nEmotional or physical stress \n\nRapid weight loss \n\nObesity \n\nFrequent strenuous exercise \n\nChronic (long-term) illness, such as colitis, kidney failure or cystic fibrosis \n\nChemotherapy for cancer \n\nCysts or tumors in the ovaries \n\nBy way of background, amenorrhea affects 2% to 5% of all women of childbearing age in the United States. Female athletes, especially young women, may be more likely to have amenorrhea. While exercise or physical activity itself does not cause amenorrhea, it is more likely to occur in women who exercise very intensely or who increase the intensity of exercise rapidly. Women who engage in sports associated with lower body weight, such as ballet dancing or gymnastics, are more likely to develop amenorrhea than women in other sports. \n\nThere is a specific algorithm used to diagnose secondary amenorrhea in an otherwise healthy patient. This includes the following steps:\n\nAlgorithm for evaluation of amenorrhea with normal puberty with uterus present - \n\nObtain a pregnancy test. \n\nIf the pregnancy test result is positive, refer the patient to the appropriate specialist. \n\nIf the pregnancy test result is negative, obtain TSH, prolactin, FSH and LH levels. \n\nIf the TSH level is elevated, the diagnosis is hypothyroidism. \n\nIf the prolactin level is elevated, hyperprolactinemia is the diagnosis. Causes include prolactinoma, CNS tumors and medications. \n\nIf the FSH level is low, obtain MRI of the head. If the MRI is abnormal, consider hypothalamic disease, pituitary disease or pituitary tumor. If MRI is normal, proceed with clinical evaluation to exclude chronic disease, anorexia nervosa, marijuana or cocaine use, and social or psychological stresses. \n\nIf FSH is elevated, ovarian failure is the diagnosis. Obtain a karyotype. \n\nIf the karyotype is abnormal, consider pure gonadal dysgenesis, such as Turner syndrome or mosaic or mixed gonadal dysgenesis. \n\nIf the karyotype is normal (46 XX), the cause is ovarian failure. \n\nConsider premature ovarian failure, autoimmune oophoritis, exposure to radiation or chemotherapy, resistant ovary syndrome or multiple endocrine neoplasm (MEN) syndrome. \n\nIf TSH, prolactin, and FSH levels are within reference range, perform a progestin challenge test. \n\nIf withdrawal bleeding occurs, consider anovulation secondary to PCO syndrome. \n\nIf no withdrawal bleed occurs, proceed with estradiol priming followed by a progestin challenge. \n\nIf the challenge does not induce menses, consider Asherman syndrome or outlet obstruction. \n\nIf hirsutism is present, check testosterone, DHEAS, and 17-OH progesterone level. \n\nIf the testosterone and DHEAS levels are within the reference range or moderately elevated, perform a progesterone challenge. \n\nIf withdrawal bleeding occurs, the

I would suggest that you talk her into seeing a Dr.; it could be her hormones, post pregnancy, etc.  There are medications that could possibly help, or she may just need to talk with a professional.  Please just be there for her, be supportive, and be patient.  As an older woman, I speak from experience here.......many times, a younger woman won't have as high of a sex drive, as she will later in life.  Stress can also play into how a woman feels sexually.  We have lots to do, and there is never enough time to get it all done in, so she may simply be too tired to enjoy sex.  You might try giving her a massage, give her a nice, long foot rub, run her a bubble bath, etc., with the sole intention  of relaxing her.  Don't make sex the main focus though, or it could backfire.  Just let her know that you want to help her relax.  It might also be helpful to just sit and talk with her, let her open up if she can, and support her the best way that you can.  I hope it all works out for both of you........good luck!!

There are treatments for this condition. She is 28 years old. Why didn't you take her to a gyno or nutritionist etc. years ago.  She should be given help to alleviate these symptoms.

My mom went through that when she had her's. I think most women do, because that's what makes us different from men. Men can have boobs, but they can't give birth. I think your friend should talk to a support group, maybe if she realizes she is still herself and she's not alone she'll feel better, because she is still a beautiful woman, inside and out. It was just medically nessicary, I assume. I send my wishes to you both. Good luck

She needs to see a doctor.  She might have a vaginal or urinary tract infection or both and 4 months is way to long to have it go untreated.  She could also have a sexually transmitted disease if sexually active.  How old is your mother and why hasn't she seen a doctor?  Why in the world would you ignore this and ask non-professionals here for help.....get her to a doctor at once!

i have friends who are 19 or 20 who also had that problem some didnt even have it stop at all.  Their doctors put them on birth control as your period comes only once a month so that you can live a normal life.

There are certain organs of the body that it is NOT WISE to mess around and delay seeing a doctor... and your uterus is one of them.  You could be going thru the start of menopause but it could also be something else... Call your doctor and explain to his triage nurse what you wrote here and see what the advice is... I would gather it is to make an appointment and get  yourself checked to rule out any serious conditions.  Good Luck... Signed... and RN
