Understanding Delayed or Absent Periods: Causes & What to Expect

It is possible to not have a period for over two years and still be able to get a period again. There are many reasons why a woman may not have a period for an extended period of time, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal imbalances, or certain medical conditions. In some cases, a woman may experience secondary amenorrhea, which is the absence of menstruation for more than 6 months in a woman who has previously had regular periods. Secondary amenorrhea can be caused by a variety of factors, including certain medications, stress, thyroid problems, and pituitary gland disorders. If you have not had a period in over two years, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
