HI,
I understand your concern.
Absence of menses for one year needs to be taken care of immediately.
- Use of contraceptives can cause it, but it does not apply to your case.
- though there are many causes for such problem, in your case it seems to be hormonal imbalance ( pitutory, thyroid, ovarian hormones or testesteron hormones), POlycystic ovarian disease,attempt to loose weight with crash diet,emotional stress .
* You need to get investigated ( hormonal assessment/ CT scan/ MRI/ USG scan along with an endocrinologist's/ gynecologist's advise for cause specific management & you will be normal after that.
Thanks.
