Answers:
Why do some women's periods stop altogether (amenorrhoea)!?
Periods can stop for a number of reasons!. The most common are:
pregnancy!.
premature menopause (this can affect women in their early twenties)!.
weight loss!.
weight gain!.
some forms of medication including the contraceptive pill or injections!.
drug abuse!.
stress!.
hormonal imbalances such as an underactive thyroid gland or the overproduction of a hormone called prolactin!.
a condition called polycystic ovaries (see below) is a very common cause of irregular or absent periods!.

The treatment suggested will depend upon the diagnosis!. If you are uncertain as to why your periods have stopped, seek advice from your doctor!. Investigation usually involves a blood test to measure the levels of various hormones in your body!.

Irregular, infrequent periods (oligomenorrhoea)

Periods are often light or infrequent both when a young woman starts having periods, and also when a woman is nearing menopause!. This is normal because they are not producing an egg every month!.

What influences menstruation!?

As described above, menstruation is a very complex process involving many different hormones, the sexual organs and the nervous system!.

First and foremost, hormones influence menstruation!. If they are not in balance, the cycle will similarly be affected!. If a woman's periods are very irregular, she can ask her doctor to measure the hormones in her blood to find out if her hormones are out of balance!. This will give a rough indication as to whether there is a serious hormonal problem!. However, since what is 'normal' varies greatly with regard to women's hormones, blood tests are not a particularly good measure of what can be considered much more subtle imbalances in a woman's cycle!.

Weight also influences hormonal balance and menstruation!. If a woman is underweight, her hormones will stop working properly and her periods might stop altogether!. Recent research has also shown that obesity can throw hormones out of balance and make it harder for women to conceive!. Stress also affects the hormones!. Many women find that if they are worried about something, it can influence menstruation!. In some cases, a woman's period might actually stop if she is very worried about whether she is pregnant!.

Regular exercise and keeping fit and healthy can help regulate the menstrual cycle!. On the other hand, exercising too much and overstressing the body can have a negative effect on the hormones to the extent that menstruation may cease!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you may need to take her to the doctor and get her checked out, not to worry you but she may have a cyst or tumor this is quite common!. Has she lost or gain a significant amount of weight!? because that can also cause her period to stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could just be her body is changing or it also could be because she is not as active as she was before!. If it does not start soon you should take her to see a doctor, they might want to put her on some birth control to regulate her cycle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
