What Causes Delay In Menstruation Other Than Pregnancy?

Hi, I'm a 20 year old young woman and I have not had my period for the last two months. I have always been very regular with my periods since I was about 8/9 and this is the first time I have missed a period for so long. I do get symptoms of a period but no blood comes out nor any dark blood. I do not have sex as my girlfriend is across the country at the moment and I've never had sex anyway. What may be wrong with me?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
At your age the first possible cause of missed periods for 2 months is pregnancy. But as you are sure not to be pregnant, I will enlist other causes. They are=
- Psychological or physical stress, post illness weakness, anemia, PCOD ( polycystic ovarian disease/ thyroid problem/ ovarian problem are possible causes of missed periods.
- Consult a gynecologist. you will be advised few investigations. Specific treatment will follow to take care of your problem.
Thanks.
