A member asked:
Could it be unhealthy not to have your period for years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could for some: As you know, it is normal for girls not to have "periods" from birth till menarche; pregnant women do not menstruate for 9 months; normal healthy postmenopausal women do not have periods for decades. DepoProvera and the levonorgestrel IUD may cause amenorrhea for years...If the absence of periods is associated with estrogen deficiency, risks of osteoporosis and other metabolic changes increase
