Can anyone tell me what can cause a woman to stop having menstrual cycles after her mom passes away 6 months ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shock and Awe: The pituitary gland has had a profound "shock" from the death and the pituitary gland is being suppressed by the higher brain centers stopping your period. This is common in significant stress or grief reactions. The period will resume on its own eventually.
