Amenorrhea, or absence of menstrual periods, can occur due to various physiological or medical reasons. While it may be normal during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause, missing periods outside of these stages should be evaluated to identify the underlying cause.
With a patient-first approach, Dr. Aishwarya Parulekar Pai provides thorough assessment and personalised treatment plans to restore hormonal balance and menstrual health. Amenorrhea may be classified as primary (periods never started) or secondary (periods stopped after previously being regular).
Common causes of amenorrhea include:
- Hormonal imbalances (PCOS, thyroid disorders)
- Excessive stress or sudden weight changes
- Intense physical activity
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Structural abnormalities of the reproductive system
Treatment focuses on addressing the root cause and may include lifestyle modifications, hormonal therapy, nutritional support, or medical management as needed. Early intervention helps prevent complications and supports reproductive health.
⚠️ When to Seek Help: If you have missed periods for more than 3 months, have not started menstruation by age 15, or notice symptoms like excessive hair growth, weight changes, or fatigue, consult a specialist promptly.
Restore your menstrual cycle and overall well-being with expert guidance and personalised care.
