Secondary Amenorrhea
Secondary amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation for several months in a woman who previously had regular cycles. It is not a disease in itself, but a sign that can have different origins.
Possible causes: pregnancy is a frequent cause; hormonal changes, stress, significant weight variations, intense exercise, or some conditions of the glands that regulate the cycle also play a role.
What may accompany it: depending on the origin, other signs may appear, such as changes in weight, skin, or mood.
Which specialist evaluates it? The gynecologist evaluates the causes related to the menstrual cycle, and the endocrinologist is involved when a hormonal origin is suspected. If your menstruation is absent for several cycles without a clear explanation, discussing it with a professional makes it possible to better guide its evaluation.
