Brief Answer:
Can be due to hormonal imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The absence of periods for last 6 months can be due to anorexia, drug abuse, hormonal imbalance or polycystic ovaries. You need to have a detailed evaluation of all the hormones to find out the cause of delay of periods.
It is not likely that the periods have stopped altogather. The periods will restart once the hormonal therapy is given after proper investigations.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
