A member asked:

Can you tell me the psychological factors that cause amenorrhea in women?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stress maybe?: Often in high stress situation women can miss their periods. You may also be eating poorly, be underweight, or have other issues that are causing your disrupted cycles. Check first with the ob/gyn and then look to psychological factors.
