Period
There are a number of causes for a teenage lady to miss periods. Pregnancy is one, but I have to assume that if you have not had a period in 8 months, that would have been obvious by now. Also, if you are on the birth control pill, or are using a progesterone IUD, or injection or implants of a synthetic progesterone to prevent pregnancy or help with heavy and/or crampy periods, it is common for periods to become very light or even go away. Some ladies will have a condition called the polycystic ovarian syndrome. There can be numerous small cysts on the ovaries that will put out too much of the normal female hormone, estrogen. That can cause an imbalance in hormones, and periods can be missed. There are other more rare conditions that can cause periods to be missed as well. It is important for you to see a gynecologist who can help you find the cause and correct this problem. Most of the time the corrections are easy, but occasionally the problem can be complicated, and careful management is needed to prevent potential complications. READ MORE
