Irregular period

I am an 18 year old female. My period have always been regular up until this year. My last period started April 20, 2023 and ended April 26. I have not had a period in four months. I have never been on birth control. I have not had significant stress or weight changes. I don’t have any health issues. I am not sexually active. I get hormonal acne but I am still not getting my period. What could be causing these symptoms and is it concerning.

There are many reasons why a young woman might have “secondary amenorrhea”. In the absence of pregnancy, there can be many other hormonal things that can cause it. It’s best to see a gynecologist for a full evaluation. .
