I haven't had a period in over a year. i have pcos but it shouldnt be this late. i get period pains all the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anovulatory cycles: You likely are having what we call anovulatory cycles. Women with pcos who don't have a period for long periods of time are at increased risk of uterine cancer. I typically recommend pcos patients go on an oral contraceptive to decrease their estrogen levels and decrease this cancer risk, as well as having a cycle. You might consider speaking to your doctor about this.
