Amenorrhea Treatment

Amenorrhea is a term used for the absence of monthly menstrual periods. It is a complication when the concerned woman doesn’t get her periods even if she is passing through puberty, not pregnant, and hasn’t gone through menopause.

It’s not about irregular periods. If the woman is affected by amenorrhea, she won’t have menstrual bleeding. Although it is not a disease, it needs doctor consultation as it is treatable. There are two types of Amenorrhea:

• Primary amenorrhea: This occurs when a young woman hasn’t had her first period by the age of 15.
• Secondary Amenorrhea: This occurs when the woman had her normal menstrual cycles but gets stopped for 3 or more months.
