What Causes Delay In Menstruation Other Than Pregnancy?

Hi... I'm a Chinese. My English not really good but I hope Doctor understand what I try to say.
Been few months (5-7 months) I have no period. I saw a Doctor before and she didn't want to give me any medicine, she just want me to reduce my weight.
What is the bad affect of no period for so long?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion causes of delayed period other than pregnancy are overweight or obesity ,stress,thyroid abnormalities,pcod etc.So all the above causes should be ruled out by the investigations like thyroid profile and ultrasound respectively.Adapt healthy lifestyle like exercise and healthy nutritional food daily.Avoid stress if any and focus on weight reduction too.Because simple weight reduction upto 10% causes the menstrual cycles regular.Weight is the most important thing.More than average weight leads to hormonal imbalance leading to problems.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
