A member asked:
Is amenorrhea ever life threatening? can amenorrhea ever indicate a life threatening condition or be life threatening in itself?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not really: You should first find out the cause. Most of the known causes of amenorrhea are benign and not life threatening...Yet until you know the cause i can not answer this question fully well.Your gynecologist is the right person to address this question as it will require a detailed evaluation to determine the cause of amenorrhea..
