A member asked:

My period hasn't started for four months and it just started randomly today. i don't know why this is. what could have triggered it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormones: Usually women have periods every month. In some women they have irregular cycles causing them to bleeding less frequently after multiple months. It is triggered by a drop in hormones in your body. See your GYN for an evaluation.
