Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Pregnancy is not the sole source of worry in case of delayed menstruation. Hormonal imbalances (in the ovaries or the thyroid gland), or absence of response of the ovaries to the stimulating hormones (secreted by the pituitary gland, the small gland found underneath the brain and that regulates the functions of other glands, like the ovaries and the thyroid gland) should be investigated. Also, a sudden drop in weight can be a cause for amenorrhea (absence of menstrual cycle). You are therefore advised to consult with a gynecologist and do the necessary tests.
