A member asked:
I entered basic training aug. 6, 2014 and havent had my period since first arriving here. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basic answer-STRESS: Basic training is very stressful and the pituitary gland has been "overridden" by the higher brain centers, thus no period. Absent periods are also common in patients who have experienced the loss of a person close to them or in individuals who are strenuously exercising. If there has been no pregnancy exposure then the period will return.
