What Causes Irregular Menstruation While Experiencing Severe Stress?
Hello, I am a young women and I have been suffering from irregular periods. I haven't had my period for 3 months now and it worries me. I am not married and I am not pregnant. I do not suffer from PCOS as well. However I have been going through a lot of stress recently but I have never had a period so delayed so I am quite concerned. Could you help me please?
hello there, stress has significant role to play on menstrual cycles. Most women complain of irregular menses when they are in stress. Some of them experience premenstrual dysphoria. As you have mentioned you are going through lot of stress , I will recommend you to consult a psychologist and start on therapy for relaxation. If your symptoms are severe enough you can also consult a psychiatrist for anti anxiety treatment. All the best
