missing period and pain in ovaries Posted: 06-20-08 03:07am
i am 23 and i haven't had my period for
about 2months. i have been late or skipped
periods before but only when i was really
sick. sometimes i feel a little sore or
have sharp pains in the area where i think
my ovaries are (left side right at the
base of of my hip) but the pains are
random and i have had them for years,
especially when i sneeze really hard. what
could be causing this? i don't take any
birth control and i am not sexually
active. is it normal to go two months with
out a period for no reason?

Hormonal imbalances are usually
responsible for amenorrhea. The cause for
the imbalance can vary widely and may
never be known. Stress, weight loss,
weight gain, and endocrine conditions are
a few examples of causes for homonal
imbalances.
You may want to see your gynecologist to
find out why you are experiencing
amenorrhea. It can be treated.
The pain you are experiencing should be
brought to the attention of your gyn.
doctor as well. This warrants further
investigation, especially when it is
associated with amenorrhea.
