secondary amenorrhea Posted: 05-18-08 23:46pm


i need answers. i hope someone could diagnose what i am experiencing right now. i am 21 years old. my first menstruation was when i was 11 years old. i haven't had my menstruation for 3 months now. i usually have regular menstruation every month. my menstruation started to stop when i went home for a vacation after my first year in medical school which is very torturesome. i decided i wanted to lose weight so i minimized my food intake this vacation. what do you think is causing this, is it all because of my diet? what can i do to have my menstruation again? what medicine should i take? i hope you could help me with this. P.S. do you know where i could find a medical forum where discussions of different cases are talked about?

Definitely minimizing your food intake could make your period go away. If you're not getting adequate nutrition, your body won't support your reproductive cycle. Make sure you're getting enough food! At least 1200 calories (probably more if you're active at all) and proper vitamins and such- protein, all that. We don't really discuss cases here, because most people on this board are not medical professionals, but are just regular people
