The : The menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones and cycles of secretion in the hypothalamic - pituitary - gonadal axis. Many possible imbalances in these interactions can result in changing or stopping the menstrual cycle. Endocrinologists specialize in diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.

It : It sounds like you may have high prolactin levels secreted by the pituitary gland. Sometimes, this is due to a small growth in the pituitary, medications, or breastfeeding. If you are not taking any medications then you may be recommended to have imaging of your brain.
