Numerous: First be sure that the lack of menses is due to permanent ovarian failure. There are several reasons for no menses - hyperthyroidism, elevated prolactin, severe and sudden stress, very low weight, medications, true ovary failure. .. Many of these conditions are reversible. Menopause is associated with bone loss, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, elevated risk of heart disease/ thinking ability.
