What if I don't have my period for two months?

If you haven't had your period for two months, the first thing you will suspect is that you are pregnant. But this is often not a sign of pregnancy. So what happens if you don’t have your period for two months?

1. Pregnancy:

If a woman who has had sexual activity recently finds that she has not had her period for 2 months, she should check whether she is pregnant. Because "menopause" is the first sign of pregnancy. If you have not had sexual intercourse or have tested pregnancy, then consider other factors.

2. Abnormal emotions

Long-term mental depression, mental tension, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can lead to menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the hormones secreted by the ovaries acting on the endometrium. The hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the hormones released by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

3. Cold stimulation

Women should not be exposed to cold during menstruation, as this will cause the blood in the pelvic cavity to contract, leading to a decrease in menstrual flow or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should keep warm at work at this time.

4. Not too little fat

A girl’s body fat must account for at least 17% of her body weight before she can have her first menstruation, and her body fat must reach at least 22% of her body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting will cause a large amount of fat and protein in the body to be consumed due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious estrogen deficiency, affecting menstruation and causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure must not diet blindly.

5. Cigarettes and alcohol can interfere

Certain ingredients and alcohol in cigarettes can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25% to 32% go to the hospital for treatment due to amenorrhea. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 ml of strong liquor, the incidence of menstrual disorders is three times that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.

What to do if you haven't had your period for two months

1. Pregnancy test: Women who have had sexual intercourse recently may consider whether the amenorrhea is caused by pregnancy. They can use a pregnancy test stick on their own or go to the hospital for a urine test.

2. Adjust your mentality: Some patients who do not have menstruation do so due to mental frustration or stress, so it is very important to maintain a good mentality.
