Hello,

There can be absence of menses in presence of negative urinary pregnancy tests as:
- Vaginal or pelvic infections
- Hormone imbalance
- Polycystic ovarian disorders
- Low hemoglobin
- Extreme stress, anxiety
- Endocrine abnormalities as hypothyroid condition
- Others

Kindly consult your OBGYN for this purpose and get necessary check up with ultrasound of the abdomen & pelvis to look into the primary cause of concern for best guidelines.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
