Hormonal, anatomic: Secondary amenorrhea refers to absence of menstruation, after previous onset at normal age. Anatomic exam and scans (ultrasound or ct) can assess for obstructive processes. Hormonal testing can assess for thyroid and pituitary dysfunction, excessive prolactin, and excessive androgens (either from ovary or adrenal) among others. These hormone problems prevent regular menses. Should get check up!

Several possibilitie: There are several possible causes. You're definitely long overdue for a visit to your gyn physician. You need a check-up to find the cause and treatment.
