Does stress really stop your period from coming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dysregulation: Mental stress can temporarily alter the functioning of your hypothalamus -- the part of your brain that, amongst many other things, controls the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle. Excessive exercise and low body weight (as in anorexia nervosa) can cause this also.
